A Must Read On Super PACs

This article is a must read for anyone interested in the origins of Super PACs.  The chief political correspondent for the NY Times magazine, who actually understands the origins of Super PACs, explains very well that Citizen's United is not what led to their creation. It was, in fact, McCain-Feingold's efforts to close the political parties' soft money accounts in 2002. So-called campaign finance reformers just don't get it. All they have done through their efforts is weakened the power of political parties while making it even more difficult to trace the flow of campaign cash.
