But we've got Super Pacs now!!!
SuperPac Man actually looks like some of the Mega Donors behind the Pacs.
I read that $4 billion was pumped into the mid-term elections -- much of it to help get the Republican wins needed for the GOP to take control of the Senate (while unlimited Union donors threw a shitload of money into backing Democratic candidates).
Some of the Mega Donors donate to causes or candidates based on passion for an issue, rather than a party, and thus end up donating to candidates from both parties.
Here's the article with the breakdown of top Mega Donors and SuperPacs -- I'm always interested in knowing who's driving the big buses. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/polit.../18060219/
