Woulda, coulda, shoulda been someone else ... some Blue Dog or whatever. Perhaps you have not pondered what is the likely nature -- and influence -- of an Antioch Clintonista lawyer. I admire GW, but why this???

Three possibilities:
1. Somebody's got something on Hunt and he can be controlled.
2. A deal was worked out.
3. He fits a "diversity" profile (is Hunt black?) and the positive PR is worth it.

Whatever, Bush has control of the SEC now.

Hunt is indeed black.

SEC site only has pictures of three commissioners, without Ms. Glassman up yet, who would make four. Aren't there supposed to be five SEC commissioners?

Whatever, Bush has control of the SEC now.

Points well taken.
