After months out of the spotlight, former Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney is speaking out. He says that on election night he knew in his heart, he was going to win the presidency, until he saw Florida.

It wasn' until 8 or 9 o'clock on election night that Mitt Romney realized he would not be moving into the White House as America's 45th president. The former g-o-p nominee believes incumbency and the popularity of obamacare propelled President Obama to re-election, and he thinks that lately the President has approached battles over sequestration and immigration by campaigning, instead of leading.

The Romney's now have twenty grandkids and fill their days with charity work and family time. But anne says. The abrupt end to the campaign was difficult.  Super storm sandy essentially stopped Romney's campaign in its tracks, and he admits it impacted his aggressiveness on the campaign trail. But he does not fault one of his top surrogates. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie for praising President Obama's response to the storm. 

Even though he lost, Romney says he still has some ideas about how to help the g-o-p in the future. Including figuring out a way to get the word out to minority voters. That republica policies can make their lives better.
