Political Corruption

[Towntalk]

No matter which party emerges as the victor in the Presidential election, it will be the most corrupt election that money can buy thanks in no small part to the Super PACS.

Does anyone seriously think that the candidates care a wit about Joe Bag of Doughnuts with all the money coming from the Super PACS?

  President Obama continues to outraise all of the candidates seeking the Republican nomination by large margins when it comes to money that goes directly into campaign coffers. But the money race is increasingly focused on outside groups that are legally not allowed to coordinate directly with campaigns but pay for advertising and other activities that support particular candidates.

The contributions have already helped the Republican Party's elite donor class, who increasingly favor Mr. Romney.
