So the President-in-Training gets hundreds of millions in dubious credit ...

... of an Obama audit. But she explained that if campaigns adequately answer the agency’s requests for information, it’s less likely they’ll be recommended for an audit.
Even if Obama’s campaign reached the audit recommendation trigger point, it’d be tough to muster the majority commission vote necessary to initiate the audit. That’s because the FEC is comprised of three Democratic commissioners and three Republicans and, as such, is prone to deadlock on partisan issues.

Obama: Lobbyists Won’t Find a Job in My White House . . . But They Certainly Are Welcome to Work on My Transition!
Patterico's Pontifications —
... So, will these folks be working on the transition from outside the White House? Just curious.
This is reported under the headline: “Despite campaign promise, Obama turns to lobbyists.” Ha ha! Just kidding! The actual headline is: “Barack Obama is looking more like a realist.”
The line about lobbyists I quote above is in the article, prominently featured in the very last line.

Anyhow, beyond noting that there is something obscene in anyone spending over half a billion dollars (some of it dubiously obtained and apparently free-from scrutiny; thanks, press!) to win a presidency (and oh, the press would be howling if McCain had spent it while Obama chugged along on public money), and that it will be interesting to watch the press (who begrudged every dime the RNC spent on Bush’s inaugural in 2004, and crabbed about celebrating “in a time of war) and to see how they will justify and promote the DNC’s inaugural excesses while ...

... that the Dems would try to “win” two contested elections in much the same way they won the Governorship of Washington several years back. And the mere mention of ACORN has, cleverly and cynically, given the Franken team an opportunity to call for a complete election do over — this time, with (presumably) the strong personal backing of Barack Obama, who could appeal to Minnesota moderates to help him gather the tools necessary for change. We already know that the FEC likely won’t audit Obama’s campaign — despite what are clear and intentional invitations to fraud (such as ...
