Soros and his wife, Susan, contributed $13 million to the Shadow party cause in 2004. The Shadow Party emerged from the dense thicket of campaign finance reforms engineered by Senators [[John McCain]] and [[Russ Feingold]]. This created an imperative that found its inevitable loophole in soft money.  McCain-Feingold deprived the Democrats of their soft money, but the Shadow Party has provided an alternate channel for collecting unlimited contributions. Under McCain-Feingold, they may no longer pass that money along to the [[Democratic]] Party directly. Instead, they give it to the Shadow Party who supports Democrats. <ref>[http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1236609/posts The Shadow Party: Part I] Front Page Magazine, October 6, 20004</ref>
