WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 (UPI) -- Super PACs, which can take in big money in support of specific U.S. candidates, have already put up more than $7 million in early primary states.
The U.S. Supreme Court's landmark and much criticized Citizens United decision allows political action committees to seek open-ended contributions. They cannot work directly with the candidates they support but knowing the PACs are out there buying TV time allows the campaigns to limit their own spending, the Boston Globe reported.
