Mitt Romney lowers expectations by pointing out that “election is not really a contest”
(Denver, CO) Mitt Romney, in an effort to lower expectations about the upcoming Presidential debates, has pointed out that the election is “not really about getting elected.”
“It doesn’t matter who does well, it doesn’t matter who scores the most points, who gets higher polls or who wins the most electoral votes.”
“At the end of the day, it’s about who can express a better vision for America. Whether or not that vision is accepted. Because I may or may not win. And that’s okay. I don’t really care. It’s not like I really need the job.”
“President Obama is an outstanding debater and campaigner. He might win the election. He probably will. But it’s not like it’s a popularity contest or something.”
“Like they say in baseball, it’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you play the game. Say, that’s and idea, when I lose the election, I just may buy a baseball team. Wait a minute, what kind of game do they play in China? That might be cheaper…”
