Mitt Romney President-Elect Transition Website Leaks Online by semid4lyfe(m): 7:36pm On Nov 08, 2012



Screenshot of Mitt Romney's transitional website, calling him the "President-elect" which was briefly online for a day after he lost to President Barack Obama.

REPUBLICAN presidential nominee Mitt Romney had a "transition" website that apparently went online briefly after Tuesday's election loss.

The Political Wire website published screenshots from what appeared to be "the office of the President-elect" and a photo of the losing candidate against an American flag backdrop.

"I'm excited about our prospects as a nation," said a quote on the site next to Mr Romney's photo. "My priority is putting people back to work."

Under Mr Romney's picture was a slogan: "Smaller, Simpler, Smarter: Believe in America."

The website run by author and former political advisor Taegan Goddard said the site "was quickly taken down but I saved screenshots."

The screenshots were dated Wednesday at 8:40 pm local time or nearly a full day after US President Barack Obama was declared the winner and Mr Romney conceded.

The site invited people to the inauguration in Washington on January 21, and included links to a newsroom and applications for jobs in the Romney administration.

"Please check back here in the coming weeks for more information and details about President-elect Romney's inauguration," the website said.

The screenshots showed three pages, including one with pictures of both Romney and his running mate, Representative Paul Ryan, described as "the vice president-elect."

The Romney campaign did not immediately respond to an AFP inquiry

Wetin come happen? This is how proper societies plan. The guy still had a loser's speech prepared. All candidates prepared to win and also prepared to lose. He would have had a president-elect speech, same way Obama had a loser's speech. Or you think say na Naija wey the automatic loser's speech is 'This is fraud, they stole votes, we will contest this to the last!'.

Its natural and expected.

Fellas, this is America where folks plan ahead of future occurrances.

Should he had won, wouldn't we had wanted to be updated about his new office from a personal angle?
Should he have suspended everything for about 4 months or more before and after he takes the oath of office like we do in Nigeria?

Na waoh angry

Re: Mitt Romney President-Elect Transition Website Leaks Online by BizBooks(m): 8:10pm On Nov 08, 2012
Apart from Nate Silver who predicted that Romney had a 10% chance of winning, everybody else
thought his chances were near 50%. So the fact that they had this website ready is not
surprising. What is making news here today is that one of the pictures on the site was
copied from Obama's 2009 inauguration. How ironic.

The first picture shows what Romney posted on his site while the second shows the original
from Obama's inauguration.

This is how a modern and peace loving society should be. Planning ahead and at the same time preparing for the eventualities. Had Nigerian Govt heed the warning sounded some 4 years ago, the general flood that nearly brought all activities in the affected areas into an abrupt halt wouldn't have happened. We lack foresight in this part of the world(I mean no disrespect). When our politicians loose any poll(even after invoking the act of thuggery, bribery and voilence at the polling stations), they still go ahead for tribunal. The US election is a lesson to our leaders, they should sit down(both the ruling and the opposition parties) to plan how the violence that has dwindled the development of this country could be curbed. Also they should see themselves as different factions/parties having a onerous goal of curbing corruption and curtailing voilence. It is only by doing this that any meaning development and social improvement can be acheived in Nigeria. God bless Nigeria.
