On December 20, I professed puzzlement about Mitt Romney’s views of Super PACs.

Today’s WaPo story still leaves me puzzled:

Romney, who has benefited perhaps more than any other Republican presidential candidate from changes in campaign finance law allowing outside groups to spend unlimited sums on political advertising, told reporters here Tuesday that super PACs becoming larger than campaigns themselves is “a very bad idea.”

But, he noted: “It’s not that I don’t support super PACs. We raise money for super PACs. We encourage super PACs. Each candidate has done that.”
