I tried to hold back on Michael Babich – because he is a nice guy and while misguided – didn’t think he deserved ridicule for running for office.

I just wish it would have been School Board or City Council…

Babich wrote a column in the Auburn Journal – no suprise there, the Auburn Journal never supported John Doolittle and will never support Tom McClintock.

His entire article said little about policy – but was a constitutional lesson about Career Politicians. Babich’ Facebook message follows:

An article that I wrote that is being picked up by the local media online. They used my cruddy photo, but oh, well.  The article is rather a-political, but goes well with the following survey results:

There is little name recognition (not surprising), but potential voters are coming over by a 2-to-1 margin once they meet this candidate and/or learn more.  So no matter the results tomorrow, this strongly supports my convictions and reasons to run for CA-04th District…2010 and 2012!

Please feel free to forward the link below to all voters who are serious about our choices for representation:

I find it difficult to believe that voters are coming over to another candidate by a 2-1 margin VS a Congressman with approval numbers in the 70% range.

Secondly – why write something A-Political two days before the election? A-political writing does not motivate people to vote for you.

What do I know? I am just a blogger…

BREAKING – Congressional Hopeful Michael Babich beset by FEC Complaint

This blogger was told by and informed source that Michael Babich was served with an FEC complaint.

The Complaint was apparently about Babich running a campaign without following McCain-Feingold and related FEC regulations.

A while back, I noticed when I looked at Babich’ Website that it lacked the required disclosures. (You know those annoying little “Paid for by” things you’re required to do) When I looked at it just now – it looks like it has been modified to include them…

Say what you want about campaign finance laws (I can’t stand them), but breaking them is a federal offense and anytime a complaint is filed, apparently the FEC is directed to respond in a certain number of days. This is apparently why Michael Babich got served notice.

Will this go anywhere – who knows. In the 2008 primary, McClintock and Ose traded FEC Complaints, and they were rightly discharged – even as Ose probably did violate the law by re-using a characture from Dean Andal’s previous campaign without paying him for the copywright. (so what?)

I did not ask my source exactly when Babich got served notice or the details of it – as my source was adamant that Babich did nothing wrong and did not have a campaign at the time the complaint was filed.

He also asserted that Babich was raising money for a 501(C)4 cause that he believes in – using the website.

If there is a Media Circus – you heard it here first.

Tom McClintock Primary Opponent Brags About Raising $60,000

Michael Babich – the relatively unknown Auburn resident, Physician and Scholar has been bragging recently that he has raised $60,000 for his run against Tom McClintock in the primary.

$60,000!? Ose spent $7.9MILLION to get 39% of the vote! That’s $202,564.10 per point. That projects to Babich getting .2962% of the vote.

Just trying to help out here Michael – but OUCH!
