The Deep Impact of Super PACs
By Citizens United and the rise of super PACs have galvanized our attention on how all this conservative money will affect the presidential race. But the real impact is on Congressional races, where conservatives are looking for an all-in purchase of the House and Senate, a la the Gilded Age.
As of now, conservative groups are outspending Democrats 4:1 and I don’t think we’ll see that decline as the summer turns into fall, not with the uber-rich competing for who can spend the most money to get rid of the Commiecrats.
