The Brave New World of Citizens United
by David Atkins
In the old days (i.e., just a few years ago), this would have mattered:
The DCCC has outraised the NRCC by $6.9 M for the last session of Congress, while Republicans still hold more cash on hand, $15.24 M to the Dems’ $11.6 M.
With Citizens United, none of that matters. Corporations can dwarf those numbers on either side almost instantly.
On the other hand, given the DCCC’s track record of taking donations only to help the most conservative Democrats, and then not terribly effectively, maybe it doesn’t matter anyway.
