The 2012 election brings a new kind of fundraiser: The super bundler

The Washington Post:
"The 2010 elections saw the rise of “super PACs,” outside political groups that can raise and spend unlimited amounts of money. Now the 2012 contest brings “super bundlers,” a new breed of fundraisers who can raise millions for candidates and outside groups at the same time.

Wealthy donors who bundle together contributions for candidates have long exercised inordinate influence in U.S. politics, often rewarded with cushy ambassadorships or powerful positions in Washington. But recent changes in the landscape of campaign-finance law have given these donors even greater influence with candidates and their advisers."
