It has been just over two years since the Citizens United case that opened the door for unlimited corporate and union donations to political causes.

It seems that since then, money has gushed into politics. It has become particularly blatant in this season’s GOP primaries.

Numbers genius Nate Silver has compiled a list of fundraising for this year. At first glance, money gathering appears anemic compared to the last election cycle. In 2008 the top four candidates raised $38.2 million compared to $21.1 million this cycle.

To make matters worse the conservative candidates are dealing with a net cash flow of -$12.1 million.

But these numbers are misleading…who needs traditional campaign fundraising when Super Pacs are around?

Super Pacs like Restore Our Future, a pro Romney group, has raised $30 million and spent $25 million against other candidates.

There is no doubt Citizens United has changed the face of political campaigns. The only question is how much it will change politics. What do you think? Are corporations people, is money speech, is this the end of our democracy or just another day in politics?
