FEC getting a purge...NYTimes.com article.

Daschle and Pelosi guy in.

Explains why we could be having trouble.

"Fresh Hope for Fat Cats"
he pathetic record of the Federal Election Commission as the designated watchdog against the ravages of big-money politics is only growing worse. Scott Thomas, the stand-out commissioner on the F.E.C. who wants to clamp down on abuses, is to be removed in a stunning decision by the leaders of his own Democratic Party. Mr. Thomas, who is avid about the new McCain-Feingold law's attempt to control the money sluiceway, is to be replaced by Robert Lenhard, a lawyer for the labor movement who was part of the effort to block that law.

This wrongheaded nomination by the Congressional Democratic leaders, Senator Tom Daschle and Representative Nancy Pelosi, seems prompted by the resentment of party forces seething over the fact that Democrats who fought more than Republicans to pass McCain-Feingold also suffered more in the last elections. The law banned the abuse of unlimited "soft money" donations from unions, corporations and fat cats, and Bush Republicans have taken a sizable lead in raising the alternative "hard money" donations.

In other words...we have to get this major media attention cause FEC is still broken.

Did anyone send this off to Rush yet? I was gone this afternoon and just catching up.
