David Goldstein, McClatchy Newspapers: ''Free to flood a campaign with as much money as they can, these souped-up political action committees have already impacted the Republican presidential contest. Their sandbox won t be just the presidential race, either. Since the 2010 election, super PACs have more than tripled in number, and their largesse could shape some pivotal contests for the House and Senate, as well.''

The Apocalyptics

John Feffer, Foreign Policy in Focus: ''They are like a heavy metal band. Dress them up in black, put some Goth makeup on them, give them a name like The Apocalyptics, and they d fit right in with the head-banger crowd. After all, it s mostly doom and gloom with the Republican candidates, particularly when they start in on foreign policy. The lead singer for a while, Michele Bachmann, loved to croon about the world entering its final days.''
