Why super PACs have moved from sideshow to center stage for presidential hopefuls

Covington's Rob Kelner is quoted on super PACs:

But now, he said, “candidates appear to be essentially establishing their own super PACs. In the absence of enforcement or even serious media scrutiny, donors will tend to conclude that they don’t have to worry.”
