More than two billion dollars. That's how much money was spent in
the 2012 presidential campaign-the most expensive campaign in
history. Each party raised and spent more than one billion dollars
as the traditional boundaries of campaign financing were ignored.
Both parties could do so because they were playing in a game with
new rules-rules that largely developed after the 2010 Supreme Court
ruling known as Citizens United. That case removed many
restrictions on donation limits, particularly for corporations and
unions. The result was the development of a new set of political
players called "Super PACs" that were allowed to enter the
political arena and spend an unlimited amount of money on behalf of
clients. This book looks at how Super PACs raised and spent money
and influenced the 2012 election. It provides an insightful look at
how both right- and left-leaning groups approached the election and
impacted the political process.
