With the election being so close and GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney having reached the pinnacle of his political career, nothing can be taken for granted.
Romney's campaign were confident that he would be the president-elect and had a transition site ready and waiting to launch if the results trickled in the way he had prayed and hoped.
In screenshots obtained by Taegan Goddard of Political Wire, Romney was ready to get to work.
"President-elect Romney is working closely with his transition team to put together his administration to endure a smooth transfer of power on January 20th, 2013 and get to work for the American people," the "Cabinet" tab of the page said.
It also appears as though Romney intended on keeping his campaign promise of repealing "Obamacare."
"On his first day in office, Mitt Romney will issue an executive order that paves the way for the federal government to issue Affordable Care Act waivers to all 50 states," the site noted. "He will then work with Congress to repeal the full legislation as quickly as possible."
According to the Huffington Post, the site has been in the works "about 10 days before the election" and "had been turned over to the campaign and was 'all ready to go.'"
The transition site was "quickly taken down" after the reports surfaced.

President Obama was reelected on Nov. 6 winning as much as 303 electoral votes to Romney's 206. Florida's results have not yet been finalized. Romney conceded at 12:55 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 7.
I so wish -- I so wish that I had been able to fulfill your hopes to lead the country in a different direction, but the nation chose another leader," Romney said to his supporters gathered at his Boston headquarters. Paul and I have left everything on the field. We have given our all to this campaign."
