Romney didn't lose an election, an electoral landslide and the popular vote, Romney was cheated out of the election by an unscrupulous, dirty, unethical and immoral campaign which had Santa Claus as the manager.

Romney would have won if only his good guys hadn't been outshouted by a mob of welfare mothers, welfare fathers and welfare children looking for handouts. Romney would have won if 47% of the population really cared about the defense of the country, the soundness of the dollar, religious freedom for Christians and the welfare of the wealthy.

This isn't an opportunity to work with a President who is inclined to compromise, wants to arrive at solutions which are palatable for as many as possible. It's an opportunity to try to block anything which may be interpreted as desired by the man elected by the majority of the country. It's an opportunity to feel sorry for themselves because they can't have everything.

That's why he doesn't despair as much as whines and snivels.
