Moving on: A detached Romney tends wounds in seclusion after failed White House bid - The Washington Post
A detached Romney tends wounds in seclusion after failed White House bid - The Washington Post:

I've been curious about how Mr. Romney has been managing his situation and those of his loved ones even since he lost the elections. A lot about the moving on process can be learned from observing and reading about Mr. Romney's efforts. I don't think he actually prepared for the possibility of losing the elections, as to do so, would just be so distracting during the candidacy period. I'm thinking that losing is always part and parcel of leading and living the kind of life we like to pursue for ourselves.
Of course, it's not the end of Mr. Romney's life, just yet. We observers may just tend to give explanations on how he's been doing. And I think he's taken the right approach in managing his situation. At his age, he has better chances of managing to his advantage the effects of losing the elections. And he seems to have started very well in moving on with his life.
I can just wish Mr. Romney and his trusted advisers agreed beforehand prior to the elections to let him show the personal aspects of his being a human being. A lot of the more important and critical matters were not shared and would have been more strategic if Mr. Romney's image was shown as more authentic, as being more truthfully representative of his true self (especially when he's alone). But that approach is generally anathema to political scientists, who serve as advisers and who desire power more than anything else. And that's basically where Mr. Obama won --- mainly because he's proven to be more like-able than Mr. Romney.
I admire Mr. Romney's efforts to move on. And it seems like he has been gaining much more, in terms of non-material stuff, along the way, which a lot of individuals out there can only dream of. And that's particularly one major reason why so many of them detested how privileged Mr. Romney's life has been for a very long time now. They made sure he'd lose this time. Oh, well, oh, well...
