More congressional fundraising hijinks

And we thought that our own Pete Visclosky was the only Congressional candidate this year with problems in fundraising reports:

Todd Young hunting sparrows with a Hummer.Angry White Boy and Indiana’s Conservative Hardball have posts up noting some difficulties that Todd Young is having with the FEC regarding some of his campaign finance reporting.

The FEC is like a glacier; it moves slow but grinds down things in its path. It probably wouldn’t undertake any enforcement action on these issues before the primary (should it deem enforcement action necessary).

After the primary, when (or if) Todd Young loses, the committee will be defunct and out of money, at which point the FEC would go after the campaign treasurer and not the candidate (remember, Tom DeLay ended up on Dancing with the Stars, but Tom DeLay’s treasurer ended up in prison).
