von Spakovsky Tells Roll Call Why He Gave Up Fight Over FEC Nomination and What He'll Do Next

See here ($):

"I'm not a rich guy. I wasn't a rich guy when I moved here and I couldn't keep waiting...The last straw was when my wife brought my son home from the orthodontist and said, 'he needs braces.'"

Meanwhile, Meredith McGehee writes this Roll Call oped calling for the FEC to be "trashed lock, stock and barrel" and replaced with an agency more to her liking. One of the most striking things about the editorial is how she condemns each of the crop of nominees. It is hard to imagine anyone with any kind of real-world experience with clients actually appearing before the agency meeting her litmus test. Would she want a commission consisting only of campaign finance reformers?
