Romney Campaign Accidentally Launches Transition Web Site

stevegee58 writes "The Mitt Romney presidential campaign accidentally launched a transition website the day after the election. Sporting a 'President Elect' seal and a catchy new tagline ('Smaller, Simpler, Smarter') , the site was up briefly before the gaffe was discovered and the site taken down. Fortunately an alert blogger, Taegan Goddard, found the errant site and published some screen shots."

Someone didn't get the memo

That site wasn't supposed to launch until Utah secedes.

Icing on the fail cake

Hopefully the Republicans can find a better candidate than a used car salesman next time. And hire a better IT staff.

Somehow, I don't think we'll be going to war over that one.

He's too liberal for Utah.

Smaller, Simpler, Smarter

Choose any two.

They should hold on to the site, you never know what the final count will be once Florida finishes.

Yeah. Florida might find another eighty electoral votes somewhere.

I chose mine. Obama is smarter. Biden is simpler.

Not a mistake, this was expected.

Romney is famous for flip-flopping. Even if someone told him he lost, he thinks he won. And he did. That's the beauty of not taking a stance and not taking NO for an answer. God bless you Romney. God bless us all. (Except the gays)

Haha

[mozumder]

that's because we liberals can do whatever we want and you conservatives can't!

ha ha! sucks to be you!

Oh Hi Boss!

Since I don't give a crap about your campaign, or politics, and this is the only REAL website I've ever done,
and this site is all I did during your campaign, I thought I'd publish it live for a few hours assuming some news outlets
would pick it up, so that I could then reference it for future work, and have important media clippings to reference
as well. Hope you don't mind - and if I do, oh well, what are you going to do, fire me?

Is probably what I'd say.

In the votes! Oh!

Shouldn't Ted Nugent be dead or in prison by now?

Obozo? Really? You're some fucking libtard commie hippy trying to hide the truth of your liberal agenda.

It turns out that his REAL name was recently discovered on a North Korean birth certificate that was written in Arabic with ink made from the ashes of holocaust victims and the constitution. It turns out to be Osama Mohammed Chinese-Invasion Terrorist Muslim Nigger bin Laden Mexican Hitler Rapes-Kids Atheist Death-To-America.

If you didn't hate America so much, God would have told you that already.

"Fortunately" a blogger captured this? Why exactly is this a fortunate thing?

Because it's just this kind of gaffe that could cost Romney the election!
