However, Romney pronounced the in this way /ði/.

Re: "/ðə/ vs. /ði/"
You don't really need a website. In most varieties of English, /ðə/ is used before consonant sounds and /ði:/ before vowel sounds. /ði:/ is used before vowels if the word 'the' is stressed.
Context is important. Please provide enough for us to be able to deal effectively with your question.
