Most Super PAC Money went to the Republicans
Most of the money disclosed this week went to independent groups supporting Republicans, giving them an enormous money advantage over similar Democratic groups in the first phase of the 2012 election cycle. Such donations were made possible by the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision in 2010 and subsequent court rulings, which opened the door to unlimited corporate and union contributions to political committees and made it possible to pool that money with unlimited contributions from wealthy individuals.

The Democratic Party and its allies better find a way to keep up with this Republican Tidal Wave about to sweep over them. The Super PACs offer the best way to smear a politician without a candidate getting his own hands dirty. Look at Mitt Romney's 2012 primary wins in Iowa and Florida for an example.
