[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]and as i stated with the floodgates open, nobody in the future is going to take a stand to stop it.

there will be weak attempts to change the rules but for the most part it will be all talking points and pontificating with little to no action backing it.

the influence is going to get ridiculous[/quote]

You may be correct that the floodgates will now be open. But, Obama losing because he refused to support pro-Obama super pacs would make no difference to that being the case.

It's also possible that the the current experience may create bipartisan support for campaign finance reform. One could argue that Romney's campaign is being derailed by a handful of individuals funding his opponents. Newt likely wouldn't have won South Carolina were it not for the Adelson $5 million. Santorum would be sunk without his sugar daddy, Foster Freiss. I think even Republicans are beginning to understand that one or two rich guys shouldn't be able to have that much influence on a national election.
