Citizens United Revisited
Oct. 9th, 2010 06:09 pmFrom Ben Smith at Politico:
Republican Third Party Groups — $43,664,661
Democratic Third Party Groups — $6,658,236
Colorado — Dems: $1.1 million / GOP: $7.6 million
Washington — Dems: $1.5 million / GOP: $4.2 million
Missouri — Dems: $794k / GOP: $7.2 million
Kentucky — Dems: $47k / GOP: $1.7 million
That's a more than seven-to-one advantage, if you're keeping score.
Thanks to the Citizen's United ruling by the Supreme Court, third party groups opposed to the Democrats have announced over a hundred million has been earmarked for this election. That's beyond unannounced (and now unaacountable) expenditures by individual corporations and individuals.
