We don't know if Mitt Romney is going to be elected president, but we do have some ideas about who some of his top aides and cabinet secretaries might be if he does win. Here are some ideas based on ABC News reporting, beltway buzz and outside reports on who might be major players in a Romney administration. Romney has already enlisted the help of several key advisers to begin planning for a potential transition to the White House. Members of that team include:

Former Utah governor Mike Leavitt Former Missouri senator Jim Talent Romney campaign adviser Beth Myers Romney campaign Chairman Bob White Ron Kaufman, RNC National Committeeman, former White House political director Glenn Hubbard, dean of Columbia Business School Al Hubbard, former director of the National Economic Council Robert Zoellick, former president of the World Bank
