Papantonio: Welcome To The Era of Super PACs
Unlike previous presidential elections, this year’s election isn’t only about which candidate has the most money in their war chests. This year it’s all about which candidate has the most Super PACs pouring money into advertising on their behalf. And so far, these massive PACs have poured tens of millions of dollars to get their guy elected. Mike Papantonio talks about how money will be the determining factor in this year’s election with Andy Kroll, correspondent for Mother Jones magazine.
