MSNBC:
The new super PAC backing Rick Perry has drawn up plans to spend $55 million as part of an ambitious campaign strategy aimed at blowing away the Texas governor's rivals in early primary states and securing him the Republican nomination by next spring, according to internal committee documents obtained by NBC News.
The documents underscore the central role that such super PACs — or super political action committees unconstrained by any limits on how much they can collect from wealthy donors and corporations — will play in the 2012 presidential election.
They also show that the strategists behind the new Perry super PAC, led by a longtime Perry confidant and backed with infusions of cash from major Perry donors, are preparing to mount a full service political operation — complete with TV advertising, direct mail and social media outreach.
If it realizes its goals, the super PAC — which calls itself "Make Us Great Again" — will likely eclipse the financial operations of Perry's official presidential campaign committee, according to some Republican consultants.
"The super PAC will probably outspend the legal presidential deal," said Scott Reed, a veteran GOP strategist. "Look, these super PACs have changed the way presidential campaigns are run."

Todo el mundo sabe que Perry va a contar con una excepcional organización de campaña. Va a recaudar lo que ningún candidato ha recaudado, ni siquiera Obama, y tiene pinta de que es un candidato extraordinariamente serio. Es la gran sorpresa que todo el mundo estaba esperando.
El otro candidato, Romney, es también muy bueno pero no va a tener la maquinaria de Perry.
Que opináis Antxon, Casto y demás contertulios qwe sabéis un montón sobre política estadounidense.

Nadie va a recaudar lo que Obama va a recaudar, no al menos directamente. El candidato republicano tendrá que compensar con los Super PACs la ventaja de Obama en donaciones directas. Y eso sí es un avance para los republicanos respecto a 2008.
