Mitt Romney's transition team, headed by former Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt, is moving full steam ahead, holding meetings on Capitol Hill and soliciting recommendations for jobs in a possible Romney administration.

Reports Politico:

Several former Republican administration officials said that they’ve received calls asking for recommendations on the Senate nomination process and potential staff at departments, including senior-level slots that don’t require confirmation.

“It’s a typical Mitt Romney operation, there’s a lot of forethought, good planning, well-organized and well-led by Mike Leavitt,” former Veterans Affairs Secretary Jim Nicholson said of the effort.

Leavitt is well-known for employing long-term planning during his time in the Bush administration and for putting together 500-day plans with a 5,000-day horizon.
