Washington - Super PACs are living up to their early billing as potential game-changers in the 2012 elections.
Free to flood a campaign with as much money as they can, these
souped-up political action committees have already impacted the
Republican presidential contest.
Newt Gingrich saw his sudden surge in Iowa squashed when super PAC
allies of Mitt Romney spent millions on negative ads against the former
speaker of the House of Representatives. Gingrich finished fourth in
both the Iowa caucuses and in the New Hampshire primary.
But a $5 million pledge from a Las Vegas casino mogul and friend of
Gingrich to a super PAC run by his supporters could help him make a
stand in South Carolina's Republican primary on Jan. 21.
