Interesting take, but not really accurate.   The RSPAC is a general 
election federal PAC and is not involved in  primaries.  In addition, we do not 
raise funds on our own, like other  Super PACs, but rely on Republican 
activists, state party officials and  candidates to do this with their maxed out 
donors. We do not expect to  raise any funds for the 2012 general election 
until well into next year.

    Or one could look at it in another way, what was  all the fuss about?

_This finding_ (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0711/60092.html)   is 
consistent with what I found in researching my forthcoming _Stanford  piece_ 
(http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1734428)  on lobbying.  
Of course, only lobbyists are compelled to  release bundling data.
