re: #240 deadmaus

Why the hell did Romney have to read his concession speech of cuecards?Made him seem less that sincere. It seems politician are too scared to ad-lib these days.

Because he either didn’t have it ready or changed it too drastically at the last minute for it to be pre-programmed into the teleprompters. So instead he had to go “old-skool” and read from notes. No politician risks ad-libbing anymore if they can help it.
