That’s why the media bashes the Super PACs.

They are a competitive threat.

You are 100% correct. And to be fair, they are easy to bash because some of their work product has been awful so far. BUT, that doesn't change the fact that they finally represent the chance for you and I and others to go support the type of political ads we've been craving for decades but which no one had the guts to run.

They are also easy to bash because right now - and I stress right now - they are the playground of the rich. You know, Shelden Adelsen can buy more political speech than you or I can. Correct. He can also buy more houses and more cars and more clothes too. That's not the point.

The point is, Super PACS do represent the real opportunity for citizen political advertising. And I predict you'll see a LOT of it in this cycle.
