Commerce would still due the census, but some, not specifically stated, level of oversight would be with the White House. ----------------- "The political nature of congressional reapportionment makes the census a hot potato. After the Obama administration suggested that the White House would play an oversight role in the 2010 census, Republican Judd Gregg withdrew from consideration to head the Commerce Department, the agency that administers the Census Bureau." tennessean.com " White House political adviser David Axelrod says the Obama administration’s plan to put the U.S. Census Bureau under the control of top administration officials will keep the bureau in expert hands. Axelrod, appearing on "FOX News Sunday With Chris Wallace," said that, despite the the West Wing's move to manage the bureau, the census would continue to “be in the charge of the professionals who conduct it." Republicans, who oppose the move on the grounds that it will politicize the 2010 census, say supervision of it by the Democratic Party will taint the results and skew new congressional representative district lines for the 2012 elections.
