elected, it makes sense to give it to mitt romney directly. only if you are allowed to donate directly to a campaign, only then does it make sense to donate to a superpac. they are the realm of the mega donor for a reason. that s not the case with this one. as open seats grits noted, the last filing showed superpac for america pulled in small contributions in droves. raising $2.1 million in donations of $200 and under. and that s why people took notice when the same s.e.c. filings showed that it showed such a huge proportion of money on fund-raising. where does the money go? raking it in in $50, $100 checks. is it really going to defeat president obama and elect mitt romney? where is it going? one of the largest expenditures
by dick morris and his superpac, supposedly to defeat barack obama was redistricted to mr. morris himself. we don t know how much. nowhere does it say how much of the money went to news max went back to dick morris under the auspices over brokering the e-mail list. mr. morris lawyers confirm news max is the broker and confirm that superpac money was paid to news max and some of the what the payment was for was to broker the mailing list, but they dispute it was a substantial portion. i don t have evidence if it was a substantial prorportion, so i shouldn t have used it. but on the rest of the stuff? no. when we don t get stuff wrong, i will not take it back because you don t like the way it sounds, even though it s true and why you don t like the sound of something, sometimes ends up being news worthy itself. what we learned in this case,
yourself for your campaign, is easily, more easily spent and sometimes more effectively spent than the superpac money. local tv stations, see, are required to give the campaigns, the real campaigns their best deals on advertising time. there s no such requirement in terms of the way they treat the superpacs. the washington post is reporting that in one ohio ad buy, set to run right before the election, the obama campaign is paying $125 for a tv spot. that spot is costing a conservative superpac $900. $125 versus $900 for the same spot? that s a huge markup for being a superpac. what that means effectively is mr. romney and his supporters may have fewer resources than it appears they have because things will cost more for them than they do for the obama campaign. when your campaign is so fueled by superpacs and outside money, you get less bang for your buck than if you had more of your own money. being fueled by outside money carries a more ominous risk than
his own campaign money than the romney campaign has to spend. and it turns out not all money is created equal. campaign money, money you raise yourself for your campaign, is easily, more easily spent and sometimes more effectively spent than the superpac money. local tv stations, see, are required to give the campaigns, the real campaigns their best deals on advertising time. there s no such requirement in terms of the way they treat the superpacs. the washington post is reporting that in one ohio ad buy, set to run right before the election, the obama campaign is paying $125 for a tv spot. that spot is costing a conservative superpac $900. $125 versus $900 for the same spot? that s a huge markup for being a superpac. what that means effectively is mr. romney and his supporters may have fewer resources than it appears they have because things will cost more for them than they do for the obama campaign. when your campaign is so fueled by superpacs and outside money,
