Bush preparing to delegate many campaign tasks to super PAC
So who is determining the message? If the Super PACs have their way, it's their message. How will we even know who we're electing?
Thanks to Congress and the Supreme Court for allowing this to even happen!
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) Jeb Bush is preparing to embark on an experiment in presidential politics: delegating many of the nuts-and-bolts tasks of seeking the White House to a separate political organization that can raise unlimited amounts of campaign cash.
The concept, in development for months as the former Florida governor has raised tens of millions of dollars for his Right to Rise super PAC, would endow that organization not just with advertising on Bush's behalf, but with many of the duties typically conducted by a campaign.
Should Bush move ahead as his team intends, it is possible that for the first time a super PAC created to support a single candidate would spend more than the candidate's campaign itself at least through the primaries. Some of Bush's donors believe that to be more than likely.
The architects of the plan believe the super PAC's ability to legally raise unlimited amounts of money outweighs its primary disadvantage, that it cannot legally coordinate its actions with Bush or his would-be campaign staff.
