Anonymous Conservative Money Floods Into Campaign

TPM reports:
Two anonymous conservative groups are dominating outside spending for the campaign cycle, easily outpacing so-called “super PACs” that are required to disclose donors. The Karl Rove-connected Crossroads GPS and Koch-founded Americans for Prosperity, two nonprofit “political charities,” have spent more money on 2012 election ads than all other super PACs combined, according to a report by Pro Publica. Their heavy spending means the election is deluged with ads whose backers are completely unknown to voters.
