How did you rate Mitt Romney's concession speech?

    Lazy. Unprepared. Amateurish. An odd glazed-look display. Off-the-cuff. Extemporaneous (look it up).

    When a fool goes off-script he looks foolish.

    It wasn't that good to be honest. It's not the worst, but on a scale of 1 to 10, probably a 4 or 5.

    I thought it was short, but gracious.

    added as an edit -I've gotten several thumbs down for what looks to me like a pretty benign evaluation.

    It was short. I can't see how that can be argued, especially when compared with President Obama's victory speech. It was also gracious with a call for bipartisanship, for a call to close ranks as Americans and start solving these important problems. It was even honest enough to say he wished it had turned out differently. Frankly, I thought it was a good way for him to leave the public stage at this point.

    I voted for Obama. I thought his speech was a return to the soaring rhetoric. However, that isn't what you asked.

    Odd what induces people to hit that "thumb."

    Romney is a disingenuous shape shifter,

    I would be more likely to invite a magazine salesman in to case out my house than listen to anything Romney has to say.

    Typical Romney drivel.

    It was fine, if brief. It covered the points that such a speech is supposed to cover. I also give his supporters credit for not booing the way McCain's supporters did in 2008.

    Republican concession speeches are getting redundant.
