The general election was more than two weeks ago. Despite the victory for President Barack Obama, people still follow challenger Mitt Romney. The Republican kept in touch with donors via a conference call Nov. 14. On Monday, as reported by The Ticket blog, a new website was launched called DisappearingRomney.com which keeps track of the number of Facebook "likes" that decrease from his social networking page.
Despite the assertion, Romney hasn't disappeared. He's simply kept a low profile since calling donors.
* The former candidate was seen taking in "Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2" on Saturday night with his wife, Ann. Grainy photos were published on TMZ.com. The couple was joined by "two young men" at a movie theater in Del Mar, Calif., according to the report.
* After the movie, the Romneys were seen at a pizza restaurant across the street. The Republican was seen snapping photos with fans. The Boston Globe reveals Ann Romney enjoys the couple's mansion in La Jolla, Calif., because the horses she owns are nearby. Riding horses helps her stay in shape to help treat multiple sclerosis.
* TMZ.com also scooped photos of Romney and his wife leaving a gym near San Diego on Monday. The couple was seen carrying red plastic cups while walking outside in the warm sun of southern California. The article noted Mitt Romney's "really hairy arms."
* A passerby took a picture of Romney filling up his gas tank in La Jolla on Monday night. According to the Boston Herald, Reddit.com user "MKB95" posted a grainy photo of the former candidate in a buttoned-down shirt and slacks. His hair looks unkempt.
* The Reddit user who took the photo proclaimed, "He looks tired and washed up. ... I talked to him for a good three minutes while he was filling his tank. I guess he's moving to one of his houses in the town I live in, La Jolla."
* The former CEO of Bain Capital owns a $12 million home in Southern California. The San Francisco Chronicle states the Romneys will permanently retire to the area as part of his post-election lifestyle. The move to southern California is a curious choice as noted by the Chronicle -- La Jolla has a Democratic majority on it city council and California is a notoriously liberal state.
* New York Magazine reported Tuesday that several Twitter users snapped photos of the former presidential candidate, his wife and some grandchildren at Disneyland. One photo shows the family on a huge bumper car as part of the California Adventure area of the theme park. Another shot reveals Mitt Romney surrounded by people taking his picture.
