77. It affects the limits of contribution
I just had CNN on behind me with Jeff Toomey(sp?), their legal expert. THe biggest difference is that corporations no long have limits on what they can contribute to a candidate whereby individuals still do.

Also just read that a raft of corporations just sent a letter to Congress essentially saying "Quit dunning us for money". The other ramification is that a corporation that is owned outside of the USA is ALSO eligible for no limit contributions. So Saudi Arabia could contribute to their hearts content to any nextgen Bushie that they wanted.
