WASHINGTON, May 9 (UPI) -- Republican-leaning super-PACs raised $156.5 million while pro-Democratic super-PACs took in $43.4 million so far in the 2012 U.S. election, a review indicated.
Although financier George Soros said he would contribute $2 million to several progressive groups, the reluctance to contribute by large donors has been a source of frustration for pro-Democrat independent expenditure groups such as Priorities USA Action, Roll Call reported Wednesday.
