The website in question is "romneyforpresident.com".
It is a common practice for political campaigns to purchase the rights to websites that may be associated with their candidate's name or campaign message. By not purchasing this website, the Romney campaign may have missed out on potential traffic and support from individuals searching for information on their candidate.
The current owner of "romneyforpresident.com" is unknown, as the website is not currently active. It is possible that the owner is holding onto the domain in hopes of selling it for a higher price in the future.
It is possible for the Romney campaign to negotiate with the current owner and purchase the rights to "romneyforpresident.com". However, it may be more difficult and costly to do so now that the website has gained attention and potential value.
Not owning "romneyforpresident.com" could potentially harm the Romney campaign's online presence by limiting their control over the messaging and content associated with that domain. It also means that they may miss out on potential supporters who may visit the website expecting to find information on the candidate.
