The new commissioners joining sitting commissioner Ellen Weintraub, a Democrat, are:

* Democrat Cynthia L. Bauerly of Minnesota
* Republican Caroline C. Hunter of Florida
* Republican Donald F. McGahn of D.C.
* Republican Matthew S. Petersen of Utah

Also, recess appointee Steven T. Walther, a Democrat, was confirmed to a full term, completing the six-member panel. These appointments come after six months during which the FEC could not take official action because it did not have the required minimum of four commissioners, making it impossible to issue advisory opinions or dole out public funding. As we've written about several times, the impasse began when President Bush sent a controversial nominee to the Senate for confirmation.
As for the McCain debacle, "Knowingly violating the spending limit is a criminal offense that could put McCain at risk of stiff fines and up to five years in prison." http://www.democrats.org/a/2008/02/democratic_part_8.php

Perhaps one day the truth will come into focus that while McCain was cheating FEC regulations, Obama was not making pledges to take public financing, only pledges to talk to the Republican nominee about a mutual agreement to do so. Once the suit was filed against McCain, that was off the table.
Ironically, the MSM wailed that Obama broke his "pledge," and ignored that McCain may have broken the law. McMedia lives!
