Romney Measuring The Drapes?

Mitt Romney is preparing for a White House takeover. Mike Leavitt, a former Utah governor, is heading an already-formed transition team.

“The transition group is more of a table setter, a drafter of an agenda, an outliner of what you need to do,” said a Romney adviser, insisting on anonymity to discuss a sensitive topic. “They will be asking, ‘What are the things you can do right away? What are the things you can think about? What can this president still do between Nov. 6 and Jan. 20?’ ”

Mr. Romney’s campaign is wary about discussing transition plans, worried that it might appear overconfident. Four years ago, Senator John McCain, the Republican presidential nominee, attacked Senator Barack Obama for “measuring the drapes.”
