Well, it sounded good in theory: Warren Now Getting Help from a Super PAC

This isn't a criticism.

“Elizabeth Warren has spent her presidential campaign denouncing big-money outside groups. Now, as she struggles in early primary contests, she’s getting help from one,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Persist PAC is airing about $1 million in Nevada ads leading up to the state’s caucuses on Saturday. The super PAC was created just this Tuesday, according to paperwork filed with the Federal Election Commission. The ad echoes Ms. Warren’s campaign message that she fights for working people.”

It's a political necessity, one she should have acknowledged immediately. Now, it might be too late.

Sanders has been just as vehement, if not more so, about Super PACs, yet he has no trouble taking dark money funneled through Our Revolution, the one he founded.
