Vice-presidential candidates generally get excellent training to serve as No. 2 men. They spend much of their campaigns in the boondocks, are subject to unnerving changes of schedule, and go largely unnoticed.

It is smothered in routine business and has little time for policing the industry-even if it wanted to. Moreover, the commission is subject to pressure from the President, who appoints its members, and from Congress, which appropriates its budget.
