re: #183 Nevergiveup

I would think any Republican Official. Since the census is suppose to be NON political, any attempt to put the executive branch directly in charge would harm the party out of power.

The executive branch is already in charge of the census. The Commerce Department is an executive branch agency.

Hell, the (rather laughable) justification the administration is using for wanting to put Rahm Emmanuel in charge was because they were afraid that having a Republican Commerce Secretary in charge was going to politicize it.
