Democrats file complaint against McCain
Complaint asks FEC to look into McCain's decision to opt out of public financing system

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Democratic Party has filed a complaint against Republican John McCain with the Federal Election Commission.
It's calling on the FEC to investigate McCain's decision to withdraw from the primary election's public financing system.
The Democratic National Committee contends McCain cannot reject the public funds because he faces questions over the terms of a loan he obtained late last year.
McCain was entitled to $5.8 million in federal matching funds for the primary. He notified the commission he did not intend to accept the money. That would free him from strict spending limits that come with the public funds.
But FEC Chairman David Mason has said McCain must explain a $4 million line of credit he secured last year and must receive approval from four members of the six-member commission before withdrawing from the system.
One problem that would hold up consideration of McCain or the Democrats' requests: the commission has four vacancies, and cannot convene a quorum.
Something else the RATS let lapse during their GLORIOUS control of Congress. Whoops!

This is too rich!
If the dems in the senate try to get the vacancies filled, the GOP should filibuster it until the dems allow an up or down vote for every judicial appointee awating a vote.
Why isn’t McCain filing complaints with the FEC over the many violations the Dems make?? They’ve got some nerve making an issue of this when they break the rules all the time.
(One small snag - FEC cannot convene a quorum)
That is truly too bad.
OUTSTANDING!!! This is so sweet.
The Democrats are acting a little more worried than I though they would be. Perhaps McCain won’t be such a weak candidate after all. Although the 8 months before the election are an eternity in politics.
