In order to make sure the Romney campaign could aggressively go after your abused attention span during the last month of the election, Sheldon Adelson led a pack of millionaire super friends to donate a record amount of money to Romney's super PAC in the first three weeks of October.
If Mitt Romney wins, the $1 billion conservative super PACs raised this election will be seen as money well spent. If he loses, there will be a fight among the biggest groups over which one made the most effective ads and who gets to be the "shadow boss" of the Republican Party.
The 'Restore Our Future' super PAC is making sure Romney's face will be all over your television screen (if you live in a battleground state) after Monday's final debate.
It's official: politicians are better at spending rich people's money than rich people are at spending their own money on politics.
