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. It's at this Google+ posting:

Fascinating.
