Does Citizens United mean that Obama's rival in 2012 will receive more corporate money than Obama? |

And if President Obama ends up receiving more money than his opponent from corporations in 2012 despite the Supreme Court ruling, will we be able to safely state that the ruling was not as bad as I thought?
After all, our main concern is that the floodgates have now been opened in such a way that Republicans will greatly benefit from this decision.

2. The main concern should be corporate influence on BOTH parties... |

Hell, the Dems are almost as owned as Republicans already - that's why legislation always falls short of changing the status quo.

Citizens United was not specifically concerned with campaign contributions.
