Halpin Comments on Lowenstein Rumor

While the Entertainment Consumer Association president hasn't been tapped to replace Doug Lowenstein as the new president of the Entertainment Software Association, he does have some opinions oabout who should replace him:

My preference would be to have a real heavy hitter in the job - someone with a legal background, who knows their way around D.C. but isn't necessarily a part of it. The federal-level legislation is significantly less threatening to the category than is state-level action, so being engrained in the politics on The Hill need not be a priority. Having the coalition partners (EMA, IGDA, ECA) involved in the search, too, would be prudent.

That seems to match up with what I've been saying: We need our own Jack Valenti.
