In the first 6 months of 2011, Super-PACs have raised 26 million dollars. Super-PACs are political action committees with slightly different rules, the most well-known being that Super-PACs can take in unlimited corporate or union donations anonymously. However, unlike traditional PACs, candidates cannot be directly connected to them.
