We will all be participating in a critical analysis of Romney's mistakes. His biggest one was his best feature. He was a successful rich white man.

Trinidad got the majority decision. The judges didn't like when Oscar avoided fighting in the last four rounds. Interesting.... I very seldom watch boxing, but remember this particular match very vividly. Could be that a similar thing played out with this election. Romney was more subtle in the last 2 debates than Oscar was in the last few rounds, but - yes, he was playing it maybe a little too safe. In a way, this says more about our voting public than it does about Romney -- they should have understood. People need to know the difference between an election and a sporting event.

Reminds me of a lot of Super Bowl games. Too many coaches play it conservatively - and lose.

Former world boxing champion Hector "Macho" Camacho went into cardiac arrest Wednesday morning and is on life support after being shot in the face Tuesday outside of San Juan, Puerto Rico. "The situation with 'Macho' is very delicate," Centro Medico director Dr. Ernesto Torres told reporters during a 7 a.m. media briefing on Wednesday. "The prognosis is not good." Friend and former manager Ismael Leandry told The Associated Press Wednesday that doctors were waiting for Camacho's mother to decide whether Camacho, 50, should be taken off life support. She was expected to arrive Wednesday morning from the U.S. mainland. "We just have to wait to see if Macho gets better. It's a hard battle," Leandry told AP. Camacho was shot as he sat in the passenger's side of the car outside the Puerto Rican capital Tuesday and was rushed to the trauma center in San Juan. Doctors said he was in critical but stable condition after suffering cardiac arrest at 4:15 a.m. on Wednesday. "He went into cardiac arrest. The doctors were able to get his heart started again with the medicine, and we are maintaining his blood pressure and pulse stable medically right now to see whether during this morning, afternoon or evening we see a positive change," Torres said. Torres cautioned that there was decreased brain activity in the former champ overnight. "We will maintain him in this way we are maintaining him medically, and we will wait to see how he responds," Torres said. "He is a strong guy. The prognosis could change if he improves. The neurosurgeons are not intervening further at this point." Another man in the driver's seat of the car, identified as Adrian Alberto Mojica Moreno, 49, of Toa Baja, died in the attack, in which at least one gunman opened fire on their vehicle in Bayamon, according to a statement from police. espn.go.com
