So, that got me thinking. What in the world would Mitt do today? I tried to imagine it. It couldn't have been a good day.
- He had to know that everytime his phone rang or he got a new text, it was going to be someone saying how badly they felt that things didn't work out for him. But, no one was going to follow that up with a "You'll get it right next time" because everyone knows that there's not going to be a next time. It's not like 2008, when he conceded in the primaries but had to know he'd get another shot.
- Did he turn on the television? I wouldn't have. I mean, that would be like watching "The Final Drive" on BTN after the Penn State - Ohio State game. Who wants to be reminded of such misery?
- Did he go outside and face the world? Think about it -- losing the electoin is kind of like getting the stadium folks to put your marriage proposal on the big screen at half-time only to have the girl say "No, thanks." Hearing the answer is bad. Having the rest of the stadium hear it, too, is even worse. That's what Mitt just went through.
- What did he and Ann talk about over coffee this morning? OK, I know, they don't drink coffee. But, you know what I mean. Did she sit there and ask him "Now what?" Or, did they just sit there in silence, each of them asking themselves that question?
