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

eledalo: 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!'.
