Mitt Romney transition website

So what? They probably prepared the site in advance in case he was going to win, so that it can be deployed quickly after his election. He probably wrote both a victory and a concession speech as well, and I'm sure Obama did the same.
 
I liked the requirements for financial disclosure demanded of applicants on the "Join the Administration" page.

Hypocrite much, Mitt?

EDIT: Though Morrigan is right in that the existence of this site itself is no surprise or anything.
 
I hate to kick a guy when he's down, but this image, from that website, is just out of touch and a bit 50's-ish to be trying out on folks in the 21st century.
 
I am sure that there are plenty of President Mitt T-Shirts, Banners, and other stuff on the way to the shredder too.

I didn't notice that at first, but that is pretty funny indeed. :) IMO a lot funnier than the existence of such a site in itself.

In 2004, Obama's team had a similar site up almost as soon the result was announced.
 
I see no major surprises. It looks like a pretty bare-bones effort, and it wouldn't surprise me to learn that Romney himself had virtually no input into it. After all, why should he work to fill out the details of transition in advance of the election? Romney did not strike me as a guy who would count his chickens before they're hatched.

There I go again, putting "Romney" and "chickens" in the same sentence. Sorry.

It appears Mitt's team put together a transition web site because they actually thought he was going to win!

smaller, simpler, smarter

Some irony here: you're claiming a smaller and more efficient government, but you make the site live when it ought not to have been.

I'm certainly not criticizing them for building the site and having it ready to go on Election Day, but making it live would be the equivalent of Cardinals pulling out their pre-printed NL Champions 2012 hats this year.

He SAID he had no concession speech in a rally on Monday.

Just found this:


From the moment Mitt Romney stepped off stage Tuesday night, having just delivered a brief concession speech he wrote only that evening, the massive infrastructure surrounding his campaign quickly began to disassemble itself.


Aides taking cabs home late that night got rude awakenings when they found the credit cards linked to the campaign no longer worked.
