Is that all they could come up with?
In contrast to Obama’s moving victory speech, you have these, well, uh, not so elegant responses to losing.
Are these guys serious? I mean come on!
“Mitt Romney on Iowa”:http://thinkprogress.org/2008/01/04/romney-change/ :
bq. “Well, you know, I think the race in Iowa was really a very clear call that people want change in Washington, not in the White House, in Washington.”
So in Iowa, where the primary caucus was for THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WHO LIVES AND WORKS IN THE WHITE HOUSE, they were indicating they want change in Washington, not the White House?! What?
Then, you have Rudy Giuliani, Mr. 9/11, American’s Mayor (who wouldn’t even get elected in NYC or New York state nowadays), “returning to his comfort zone”:http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2008/01/03/2008-01-03_giuliani_positive_despite_weak_campaign.html. That’s right, 9/11.
bq. “None of this worries me – Sept. 11, there were times I was worried,” Giuliani said.
Man, when you lose in politics, I guess it’s easy to come up with the dumb excuse when you have nothing else.
