Mitt Romney: One Final Gaffe

November 8,2012
Website for 'President-Elect Mitt Romney' Goes Live
MSNBC

This entire Presidential election has been sprinkled with gaffes both kind-of funny and extremely insulting from the Republican candidate, Mitt Romney. Starting with the 47% label to all those recieving Government assistance to the taking out of Big Bird and PBS all together. While these have stuck to him like a bumper sticker his final gaffe, I believe, takes the gold.

The race for the win was a close one and this election has had a many of ups and downs for both candidates. President Obama, however, was delcared winner on Tuesday night. The following Wednesday, with celebration sprouting from Obama supporters and gloom hanging over Romney supporters a one, Taegan Godderd, found something that has tickled the crowd. Taegan Goddard, is named by the MSNBC article as the blogger who found the website for 'President-Elect Mitt Romney'. The site only went live for that one day as stated by the article, and there are only a few pictures taken by the blogger that shows just how ready Romney was to win.

The opening page for the website pictured a smiling Mitt Romney and a quote stating, "I'm excited about our prospects as a nation. My priority is putting people back to work in America." Another page showed an open link that would lead to his victory speech which he also had planned to give but was never able to deliver to the public. The website was created by a software company in Utah called SolutionStream. One of the company owners, Jason Thelin, spoke to the Huffinton Post about the leak saying he was not sure if he was allowed to talk about it but did say that it had been all ready to go.

Obviously no lack of confidence in Mitt Romney but it's also obvious that it was not enough to get him the win.
