In writing this up, I think you “buried the lede” – i.e., we got a couple of paragraphs of introduction before you hit us with your very cool finding – the size of a PAC has increased radically, and Citizens United seems to have introduced PACs of unprecendented size. My suggestion – say that first, then offer the context… 🙂
