people, think about it. all those "groups" whom romney no doubt bitterly blames here for his defeat, groups he imagines were bought off--
HOW DO YOU THINK HE FEELS ABOUT THEM??
do you imagine, were he elected president, that he would have seen them as his constituents, his followers, his people whose needs were to be considered, much less rewarded?
i can't think of a more frank statement from a politician these days that THOSE PEOPLE are not his constituents.
so now the bangura bet, that romney, not being obama, would have been better, unlike pascal's bet has an answer, loud and clear: you are not my people, were never my people, and would never be my people.
his people peopled republican rallies, voted for him....
need i say more?

--Mitt Romney, on a call with top donors on Wednesday, referred to some of the policies enacted under the Obama administration as "gifts" that helped him win young, minority and low-income voters.Here's The New York Times's account of the call:"In each case they were very generous in what they gave to those groups," Mr. Romney said."With regards to the young people, for instance, a forgiveness of college loan interest, was a big gift," he said. "Free contraceptives were very big with young college-aged women. And then, finally, Obamacare also made a difference for them, because as you know, anybody now 26 years of age and younger was now going to be part of their parents' plan, and that was a big gift to young people. They turned out in large numbers, a larger share in this election even than in 2008."- IkhideStalk my blog at http://www.xokigbo.com/Follow me on Twitter: @ikhideJoin me on Facebook: www.facebook.com/ikhide
