Will there be a method to measure the amount of money that Koch-like groups, PACs and
other individuals provide for the 2012 elections for the republicans? It does not seem unreasonable to expect 10's of billions, given the wealth of conservative donors and the unlimited resources of businesses and corporations.

1. I'd rather have voters learn to vote for the best candidate rather than the most-advertised one

2. I keep hearing that because of the Supreme Court and Citizens
United, there are so many who will not have to disclose
the amounts.

Karl Rove is aiming for 240 K for his PAC. The donors
do not have to be disclosed unless I misunderstood.

4. Might that be $240M? 240 is not much for that guy.

3. I want to see it on both sides of it
Soros, etc. Too much money influence.
