Lenhard Withdraws Name for Nomination to FEC

This is really too bad, but I assume that, like everyone else, Commissioner Lenhard needs a job to pay his bills. I think that Commissioner Lenhard has been one of the most thoughtful members of the FEC in recent years.

Don't expect to see a reconstituted FEC before the November election. UPDATE: Bob has joined Covington & Burling.

Second update: On my second point, Bob Lenhard writes: "I disagree with your assessment and that I think that it as likely that we have a reconstituted Commission by the June recess it is that the process remains at impasse till next year."
