Who will fill the FCC's Republican seat?

Sure, you play your fancy DC insider games to guess who the next Federal Communications Commission chairman will be. But riddle me this, Batman, who will slip into the Republican seat at the Commission? Apparently, 12 Republican senators, including 5 who sit on the Senate Commerce Committee, have sent a letter to Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) recommending Ajit Pai, Senator Brownback's assistant for judiciary matters, for the vacant GOP FCC seat. While it's up to President Obama to formally appoint commissioners, it's left to the opposing party's congressional leadership -- in this case Sen McConnell -- to select someone for any seats reserved for the opposite party.
