The campaign gets tense

Opponents of Mitt Romney by the investiture Republican to deal with Barack Obama by United States presidency receive strong amounts of money thanks to a new funding mechanism called "superPAC", which could complicate the progress of the favorite conservative to the Casa Blanca.

Despite his two victories in the States of Iowa and New Hampshire, successive Romney is not safe from his opponents more conservatives.

Traditionally if a candidate wins in the first two States in the round of primaries ensures an easy path in the following. But a decision by the Supreme Court from January 2010 can change that sort of tradition.

Interest groups called superPACs (supercomités of political action in the Spanish translation), can raise funds from empersas, unions, associations and individuals in unlimited way to redistribute them then the candidate of their choice.

"With the ' superPACs'", u000a"Romney goes to confront a major challenge in South Carolina and Florida," said Anthony Corrado, an expert on financing of election campaigns of Colby College in the State of Maine. "This (the collection and redistribution of money pursuant to this mechanism of"superPACs") to continue beyond these two States will depend on whether arises or not a conservative candidate from Romney", added Corrado.
