Rick on his blog asks:
"Thought experiment: what would the Republican campaign look like if we could still enforce the $5,000 individual contribution limit on PACS, if corporate and labor union treasury funds could not go into PACs, and if contributions to 527s remained under a legal cloud?"

Too easy: Romney would have already won the GOP nomination, and would be in the process of being outspent somewhere between 2 and 4 to one in the general election.
