Why is John McCain's domain behind WHOIS Privacy?

I'm almost positive this is against FEC rules. I'm going to have to call them.

1. Okay, I talked to the FEC
The nice young woman said that the FEC has decided to take a "hands off" approach to the Internet. And so they have no rules on WHOIS. The only thing they require is that the actual campaign site has a disclaimer on it.

Still. Why hide the WHOIS behind a privacy service? Doesn't that strike you as a little shady?

4. Probly being ran by
the brainiacs behind Lieberman's last campaign. Want to keep it hush-hush so if it crashes they can blame us?
