Much of this money comes from groups called Super PACs, which are subject to no restrictions except that they must act independently of the parties’ official campaigns. It is not plain that Romney will raise more money from Super PACs than Obama in this election.

That hardly diminishes the danger to democracy of large and often undisclosed corporate gifts.
