1. If you look at the amount of PAC money in the past election it's not
much of an issue:

http://www.opensecrets.org/presidential/summary.asp?ID=N00000245

For example here is what Kerry received in contributions:

Individual contributions
$224,852,303
70%

PAC contributions
$141,918
0%


Candidate self-financing
$0
0%

Federal Funds
$74,620,000
23%

Other
$22,960,746
7%

Though Bush got much more if you'll note:

Individual contributions
$271,634,244
74%

PAC contributions
$2,903,767
1%


Candidate self-financing
$0
0%

Federal Funds
$74,620,000
20%

Other
$17,396,524
5%

Still only 1% of his donations.
