If you're biggest concern with the Commission is hunting tags, then you haven't been paying attention.
The Commission appointment process is a fickle beast, you have to juggle multiple metrics/variables at a time, such as
- whos rolling off and when
- weighing the good or the perfect
-qualifications
-ability to pass a smell test with the governor's office
-connected enough to have some sway
-where they are located (county and region) vs. whats available
-endorsements
-individual capacity to do a ton of work for each candidate
Plus you never know...someone might step down or be removed before their term is up...and you have no idea when that'll happen, so you need a constant and very well distributed list of solid candidates.
