The senator's super PACs have launched an unprecedented ground effort in South Carolina and seem intent on going where few super PACs have gone before--door knocking.
We all know super PACs have permanently changed the face of American politics. But in South Carolina, right now, we're getting a preview of the unprecedented ways they can alter a campaign.
South Carolina, as you may know, is kind of a big deal. It has a large population--4.8 million people--and a bad reputation because it's a place where candidates love to break out their dirtiest tricks.
Or, in the case of Ted Cruz's super PACs, their most experimental. The cluster of well-funded super PACs boosting Cruz's candidacy is trying out a new tactic in the Palmetto State, indicating the extent to which super PACs are encroaching on traditional campaign turf.
And it has Cruz's rivals scared.

Great photos!!!
OK, there are people standing.... in front of their chairs.
I think maybe you don’t know what the term “standing room only” means.
Yet again you follow Trump think....sheesh...put the glasses down.
As I've said, these young or not so young (some times they are moms with kids tagging along) do this because of their love of America and our common family values and do not ever lie about who they are walking for. I have donated thousands of hours doing just this for pro-life issues.
These PACs are usually funded by a group people who support conservative causes and are allowed by law to come together to support the causes where their hearts lie and where they have donated their time for years!
If I’m going to vote for a pathological liar, I may as well vote Trump.
At least he doesn’t pretend to be a “christian”.
Probably pinning the shaming letters door to door to make sure they arrive. :-)
So Trump swindling grandmas out of their SS checks in casinos
is AOK with you.
How is Trump doing this?
We conservatives do this (go door to door) regularly in KS!
What’s “dirty” about it.
We knock on doors, if no one home, we leave hang tags asking for votes.
KS Pro-life candidates win by personal contact whenever and wherever possible!
Jehovahâs Witnesses donât have dandy little smart phones with your whole internet history, address and church going habits programmed into them. Jehovahâs Witnesses are annoying. Cruzers are sinister.
Occasionally they are Pro-life, Pro-marriage, Pro-Second Amendment, Pro-school choice, supporters for low, fair or flat taxes!
As PACs don't communicate with a candidate, they are "issue advocacy" and there is nothing "dirty" about what's going on.
In KS, the only people claiming that doing so are usually the pro-abortion, NEA Union lobbyists, pro-homosexual agenda and is "desperate," losing or doing something illegal themselves!
Please reread my post.
I did.
Still don’t get what yuo are wanting me to see.
I asked for information or links...how is this information gathered and sold to campaigns?
It’s ok, if you had a link, you would have posted.
No but sometimes the advocacy PACs pay for our printing and help students driving materials around our district money for gas and expenses but we always know and approve the PACs.

Also, seems like it is not issue advocacy...it is more like candidate advocacy.
I have gone door to door for candidates as a volunteer and part of their campaigns, and I have also participated in pro-life activities...
Just seems that perhaps this activity is different...I am looking for more information and clarification.
