A Super PAC is a political action committee set up independent of any particular campaign, but able to raise and spend unlimited amounts of money in favor of the election of a candidate, provided the SuperPAC is completely separate from the campaign and the candidate, and not coordinated with them in any way. This is a result of the Citizens United v. FEC decision in January 2010.
One effect of Super PACs is to reduce the relative influence of the lamestream media, and enable the public to hear negative information about liberal candidates without liberal censorship.
