Now that the election is over and President Barack Obama has been re-elected, I have to wonder what is going to happen to Gov. Mitt Romney. Although I am a supporter of Obama, I believe Romney was a strong competitor during this election and has a promising future ahead of him.Romney will have to return to life without a code name, the Secret Service, political debates and appearances all over the country. The governor will return to simplicity, if he can ever escape the public defeat he suffered. For many Americans, the 2012 presidential election was a tight race. Romney had 206 electoral votes, 126 votes less than President Obama. During Election Day, Romney led the popular vote in the first few hours, but Obama turned out to be victorious.  Romney had 47.9 percent of the popular vote while Obama had 50.6 percent.The presidential election had me on the edge of my seat. I feared that Romney would bring this presidency home. I though this because of the amount of supporters, especially young adults, the governor had. I was surprised to see how many people supported his policies on gay rights, abortion, education and the massive reforms he planned to make.Since the election is finished and the governor did not come out as the winner, Romney has lost a great amount of support from Republicans and disappointed followers.According to a website called “Disappearing Romney,” Romney is losing some of his Facebook friends. The website shows a steady decline in the amount of “likes” on Facebook the governor has.Although Romney has lost many of his “loyal” supporters, this does not mean some Americans are still not standing by his side, cheering him on. I would not be surprised if many of them hope to see him run for president again.Romney supporters may urge the governor to run for president in 2016 or in the distant future, but that is unlikely to happen.In an interview with ABC’s “The View,” Ann Romney said, “He will not run again — nor will I do anything like that.”After spending the last six years running for president, it is understandable that politics would be the last thing on Romney’s agenda after his loss in this election.Steve Schmidt, a campaign advisor and strategist of John McCain in 2008, said, “The only door that is closed to Mitt Romney for the remainder of his life is being president of the United States.”Even if Romney decides to leave politics behind, he can find success in private business or creating a foundation.During the election, Romney was persistent on bringing private sectors involvement in higher education back. He could refocus his agenda on pushing for a major reform like that.If that plan does not work, Romney could always turn to using his wealth for good. According to Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry of Forbes, Romney should “fund and run a foundation dedicated to fostering and researching new, innovative right-of-center policy ideas.”  Like his father, the late George W. Romney, Mitt Romney can be remembered for something in his life other than a failed attempted at becoming president. Romney can be remembered as a man with a strong sense of leadership and advocacy for any movement he puts his heart into.Romney may have not won the presidency like millions of Americans hoped, but I think this is just the beginning for the 65-year-old. “He’s not a guy who’s going to stay still, right,” said Russ Schriefer, one of Romney’s political strategists, in an article on usnews.com. “He’s not a guy that’s just going to hit a beach, play a lot of golf. He’ll do something.”
