President Elect Mitt Romney site surfaces -- then (unsurprisingly) vanishes Looks like the Net provided an interesting glimpse at the alternative universe where Mitt Romney won last night's election. For a time today, a site hosted at "SolutionStream" appeared to be the planned presidential transition site for Romney -- complete with placeholders for a YouTube video of his acceptance speech, links to apply for posts in his administration, and all the trimmings. If it was fake, it was a great one. I believe it was real. Within a few minutes of my starting to notify folks about its existence this afternoon, it was pulled down, and replaced with a generic SolutionStream page. A few minutes after that, romney.solutionstream.com began forwarding back to their home page. Poof! Well, *almost* poof. I grabbed a screenshot of the home page before it vanished.
