Greg Sargent for the win today, as he compiled a list of outside conservative and liberal organizations undisclosed donors spending on this year's election.
The stark contrast shows the true effect of the Citizens United ruling. It's a free market election and its getting bought right in front our faces:
Conservative:
American Action Network: $4,930,690
American Future Fund: $13,829,863
Americans for Job Security: $5,833,469
Americans for Limited Government: $705,045
Americans for Tax Reform: $3,545,412
Center for Individual Freedom: $1,886,869
Crossroads GPS: $11,484,016
Ending Spending Fund: $1,150,000
Revere America: $1,539,048
60 Plus Association: $5,574,166
U.S. Chamber of Commerce: $23,644,188
Republican Jewish Coalition: $610,590
Total: $74,733,356
Liberal:
Working America: $2,005,965
VoteVets Action Fund: $1,869,086
Defenders of Wildlife: $1,094,188
NARAL Pro Choice America: $281,951
National Wildlife Federation Action Fund: $278,835
CSS Action Fund: $1,377,680
Communication Workers of America: $1,174,194
Sierra Club: $296,059
Our Future Ohio PAC: $1,711,283
United Mine Workers of America Power PAC: $315,905
Total: $9,868,057
The fact that there are races that are close should be a testament to a moderately progressive victory. However, as Booman points out, it's potentially the beginning of something far worse.
