    ...with the side note that Congress dragged their feet in filling vacancies on the FEC until well into the campaign season.

    Yes, thank you, I forgot to mention that part. I love how McCain was against immunity for telecomm companies that where involved in Bush's illegal wiretapping. These same companies dumb millions of dollars into his campaign and all of a sudden he supports immunity and praises their actions.
