CBS is reporting that Romney will concede in the next 10-15 minutes. Supposedly has already called Obama. ---

> [@Jas09](#): > > Fox News is still very sad about negative campaigning. I swear I’m not making this up. Sadly, not surprising. That’s been one of the truly depressing parts of recent campaigns - the GOP and their moneybags supporters are the all-time champeens of dirty, negative, despicable campaigning, yet they bemoan how bad the other side is. As if their hands are squeaky clean and pure. And the Fox News audience eats it up! Likewise, the whole “bipartisanship” thing. Obama got slapped down repeatedly by a Republican Congress whose _explicitly stated one and only goal_ was to make him a one-term President … and it’s _ **Obama** _ who’s not trying to reach across the aisle? What kind of bizarro world do these people live in? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills! (The absolute best thing about tonight? McConnell’s one-term President gambit FAILED. Try something else, will ya? Like working together for the sake of the country, maybe?) ---
