“Big Romney donors turn to PACs before GOP convention”

USA Today: “However, some of Romney’s most prolific donors have found another outlet for their money. Nearly 1 in 10 of the campaign’s largest donors also have contributed to Restore Our Future, together giving nearly $16 million to the pro-Romney super PAC, a USA TODAY analysis of new campaign-finance reports finds.The findings highlight the parallel campaign-finance systems operating in this year’s presidential election. Candidates face strict limits on what they can collect for their campaigns, even as super PACs run by their friends and former aides raise unlimited sums. The USA TODAY analysis shows that 144 of Romney’s top donors gave to Restore Our Future. Thirty-eight of President Obama’s big givers also donated to Priorities USA Action, the main super PAC aiding him.”
