This is almost too disorienting for words. It is the Romney plan on how to move into government once the election was finally won. As far as it is possible to be from the chaos of the second Obama administration, a world utterly different that maps out a future and is filled with an articulate sense of where to go and how to get there. But this is only a loss that will be felt by those who could not imagine voting for Obama. The rest won’t know the difference assuming that if they came across this, would not feel this was a bullet they only just missed.

Among the recommendations for the Romney administration:

Corporate-style training seminars were planned for appointees and nominees before the inauguration to teach management skills.

A plan to restructure White House operations to suit Romney’s corporate management style, with clear deliverables.

Detailed flow charts delineating how information and decisions were disseminated through the administration to achieve “unity.”

Plans to evaluate Cabinet secretaries’s performance by “systematically assessing the efforts of their departments in contributing to [Romney’s] priorities and objectives, perhaps by a newly created ”deputy chief of staff for Cabinet oversight.”

More than 100 detailed one-page project management sheets were in circulation at R2P headquarters by Election Day, charting the organization’s progress and preparing for the run-up to inauguration. Movements for Romney, his wife Ann, and Vice President-elect Paul Ryan were heavily choreographed for the days following the election, and many campaign staffers were told to prepare to assume roles on the transition immediately following a victory. (All were guaranteed a job on either the transition or the inaugural committee.) A painstakingly prepared seating chart and floor plan was developed for Romney, his aides, and transition staff across three floors of the Mary E. Switzer Building in downtown Washington, ready for the rapid post-election expansion.

But go into the document itself to have a look at the incredible amount of detail in preparation for the transition.
