The pro-Mitt Romney super PAC Restore Our Future funded this hit piece against former GOP House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
Forget the Super Bowl.
Super PACs are all the rage these days in presidential politics.
The super-sized political action committees can accept unlimited sums of money from individual donors, unlike candidates for federal office ($2,500 for the primary and $2,500 for the general election) and both national parties ($30,800 per cycle).
Groups such as the pro-Mitt Romney Restore Our Future appear to be the vehicle of choice for wealthy hedge fund managers and venture capitalists to have a voice in the 2012 White House race.
High rollers from Greenwich loyal to Romney — among them Paul Tudor Jones II — gave $1 million to the super PAC during the month of December alone, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a Washington, D.C., organization that tracks the role of money in elections.
