gaar, So, all of the sudden you could care less that the FEC is either incompetent and/or showing favortism for one party over the other? What about the drama of the un-named investigator that "can't get anyone to move on the charges" and is in fear of retribution for even talking about the situation?
What do the think amigo? Is it possible the FEC does not want to investigate Obama out of fear that someone might then insist on the investigation of McCain's campaign as well, that maybe it's best to discourage no real investigation of either?
