The very fact that you know there are bundlers on the transition team is a welcome change. The transparency of each team member being named and having their full bios with disclosure of their previous connections on a public website is a welcome change.
I wonder how many people here could name the members of Bush's transition team, or know how many of them were bundlers? Perhaps if we had known, we wouldn't have been so surprised at execs from Big Oil writing the energy policy. At least that is not going to happen in Obama's administration. I was very pleased with the presence of so many progressives and environmentalists on the transition team. Only a couple of people sent up warning bells for me, but I'm very happy about knowing who is making the decisions.
