The nomination of Jonathan Adelstein to become the fifth commissioner at the Federal Communications Commission is a step closer to going before the full Senate for a vote.
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) may still block the nomination, among others, until he gets his nominee on the Federal Election Commission.
