Four more years!! It was a tweet send by Barack Obama for officially announce
his victory against Mitt Romney. In fact his victory wasn’t a surprise, because
most of poll were confirmed it. Although Mitt Romney till the last moment, didn’t
accept this realty, it was clear, Barack Obama should be re-elected. His
re-election could be explained by many reasons:
-
His
position about abortion;
-
His
gender policy;
-
A
support of Latino’s community especially in Florida;
-
A
wish to go forward….
-
Like
in 2008, Barack Obama has done a good campaign online
Clearly, Mitt Romney didn’t understand that American
society is changing. He can’t be the only one responsible of his defeat.
Because, behind of it there are a Republican Party, many lobbies and some
political movement like tea party which want to protect the oldest American
identity, which deny accepting the homosexual rights, diversity…etc.
But the most important lesson of this election is
really the end of Romney’s political career. Why can we believe it? It is one
of particularity of American political system. In United State, after the
defeat, the candidate who has been defeated will not be the next candidate of
his political party (even if in Europe it is really different, Berlusconi is a
good example connected to this focus). It’s not forbidden, but it’s always
happened like that. After his defeat in 2000, Al Gore stopped his political
career. Sometimes, during the future campaigns the former candidates will
support the next candidates, but it’s almost impossible for them to be
candidate. During the 2012’s campaign, Ann Romney, his wife was explaining
about her Husband:” It is his last chance to be candidate for presidential election. In
case of defeat, he has to stop his career”.
Usually, the loser find again his last mandate. After
their defeats John Terry and John Mc Cain did it (They are still congressmen). Unfortunately
in Romney’s case, when he announced his candidature, he wasn’t governor or
congressman. He’s now in front of many way, he can start a new charitable career
(He already did it France, when he was young) as least he will attend to his
grandsons.

RispondiEliminaI agree with you, Mitt Romney has no political future; if he wants to be in the public life again he has to direct his efforts to the charitable career, although his personal background belongs to another type of life.
RispondiEliminaAl Gore and Bob Dole, for example, decided to step down while others such as Hubert Humphrey, Barry Goldwater and the late John McGovern continued, with different results, their political commitment.
My opinion: he will concentrate completely on his companies.
