ROMNEY: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, my friends. Thank you sovery much.

(APPLAUSE)
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I have just called President Obama to congratulate him on his victory. His supporters and his campaign also deserve congratulations.

ROMNEY: His supporters and his campaign also deserve congratulations. I wish all of them well, but particularly the president, the first lady and their daughters.

(APPLAUSE)
This is a time of great challenges for America, and I pray that the president will be successful in guiding our nation.

(APPLAUSE)

ROMNEY: I want to thank Paul Ryan for all that he has done for our campaign.

(APPLAUSE)
And for our country. Besides my wife, Ann, Paul is the best choice I’ve ever made.

(APPLAUSE)
And I trust that his intellect and his hard work and his commitment to principle will continue to contribute to the good of our nation.

(APPLAUSE)
I also want to thank Ann, the love of my life.

(APPLAUSE)

ROMNEY: She would have been a wonderful first lady. She’s — she has been that and more to me and to our family and to the many people that she has touched with her compassion and hercare.
I thank my sons for their tireless work on behalf of the campaign, and thank their wives and children for taking up the slackas their husbands and dads have spent so many weeks away from home.

(APPLAUSE)
I want to thank Matt Rhoades and the dedicated campaign team he led.

(APPLAUSE)
They have made an extraordinary effort not just for me, but also for the country that we love.
And to you here tonight, and to the team across the country — the volunteers, the fundraisers, the donors, the surrogates — I don’t believe that there’s ever been an effort in our party that can compare with what you have done over these past years.
Thank you so very much.

Thanks for all the hours of work, for the calls, for the speeches and appearances, for the resources and for the prayers. You gave deeply from yourselves and performed magnificently. And you inspired us and you humbled us. You’ve been the very best we could have imagined.

ROMNEY: The nation, as you know, is at a critical point. At a time like this, we can’t risk partisan bickering and political posturing. Our leaders have to reach across the aisle to do the people’s work.
And we citizens also have to rise to the occasion. We look to our teachers and professors, we count on you not just to teach, but to inspire our children with a passion for learning and discovery.

We look to our pastors and priests and rabbis and counselors of all kinds to testify of the enduring principles upon which our society is built: honesty, charity, integrity and family.

We look to our parents, for in the final analysis everything depends on the success of our homes.

ROMNEY: We look to job creators of all kinds. We’re counting on you to invest, to hire, to step forward.
And we look to Democrats and Republicans in government at all levels to put the people before the politics.
I believe in America. I believe in the people of America.

(APPLAUSE)

And I ran for office because I’m concerned about America. This election is over, but our principles endure. I believe that the principles upon which this nationwas founded are the only sure guide to a resurgent economy and to renewed greatness.
Like so many of you, Paul and I have left everything on the field. We have given our all to this campaign.

(APPLAUSE)

I so wish — I so wish that I had been able to fulfill your hopes to lead the country in a different direction, but the nation chose another leader. And so Ann and I join with you to earnestly pray for him and for this great nation.

Thank you, and God bless America. You guys are the best. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thanks, guys.

(APPLAUSE)

Thank you too Romney

I feel he did not have enough charisma to beat Obama..Americans prefer a person who got swag and less intelligent than a person who is intelligent and got less swag cos truly really, the president is just the supervisory head of the various institutions. The main decisions are made by the house.

What can you say?

Waoh! cant believe my position as regards commenting! E be like say i no get work!

Maturity, a Nigerian politician will go to court. Though the election was an arrangement.

brummell: Maturity, a Nigerian politician will go to court. Though the election was an arrangement.

How was it an arrangement?

Hope our politician can see

In naija one million petitions would have reached supreme court. One from d contestant, the other from d deputy, next from d party and the rest from supporters. Naija na my children children chidren children children will enjoy dis nation.

Can this happen in Nigeria?

How it would have been in NAIJA "we cannot accept this,Ԏђξ election was rigged on Ä massive scale,people were not allowed to vote....there were reports of violence all over Đ country,Ԏђξ ballot papers arrived 5mins to Ԏђξ end of Ԏђξ election,,,,they were sharing money @ Ԏђξ polling stations,Ԏђξ police was used to intimidate voters,Ԏђξ ballot paPers were fake,Ԏђξ computers were manipulated(wats that buhari's word for it),we are going to court,to Đ tribunal we go..nigerians must stand and fight....bloodshed will spill if we are not announced winner by Đ tribunal,I had to win,I must win cos I won in my dream.

Hope Buhari is reading the speech if not someone should forward this conceeding speech to his e-mail

Romney thank you too.

Obama n Romney av been campaigning 4 over 10months now no single soul injured or killed. Ordinary council or election in Nigeria, u would av heard 6 killed,20 seriously wounded n police and army everywhere. Do u kno why nobody will be injured or killed in America today @ the election? Because Obama and Romney are contesting 2 serve the people n not their personal interest or interest of any group. More so every American is equal b4 the law and no single individual is above the law. Another observation, did u hear the name of a party leader @ the campaigns ?. I've been following the america election activities for months now I still do not know the name of the chairman or president of their electoral body. Lots of lessons 4 Nigeria 2 learn frm dis america election. God bless Nigeria

We don hear. Abeg as this man no win shey he go fit come make he come rule nigeria? Niger go beta sha

Can This makes Nigerian dalies? Hope Our leaders take corections

A great speech from a great looser,we love the fact that you gave it your all but our dear was just too hot to be intimidated,wish you and your family the very best.

9ice speech

The diference between America's peaceful elections and Nigeria's elections is we the masses... A lot of gullible people are ready to kill over a bag of rice or a thousand. There is poverty in America as well but people are not easily manipulated or used for violence. To Americans it is all about your policies. Democratic partys's ideologies and principles against Republicans.

Its only in Nigeria you will see hoodlums killing for someone who they have never met and will never meet. It is only in Nigeria where you see contestants not present at the debates cos 'they too busy'. It is only in Nigeria where you can contest under Acn in 2011, Pdp in 2015 and LP in 2019

Yes in America, a lot of people still vote based on sentiments but their sentiments are based on party ideologies.

Funny enough these stupid acts happen all over Africa and that says a lot about level of intelligence, mentality and backwardness

I might be wrong
