We really ought to let campaigns raise the money they need and just get rid of these super PACs.  

GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney, [trying to distance himself](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/20/mitt-romney-super-pacs-restore-our-future%5Fn%5F1160643.html?ref=ivn.us) from a super PAC founded by his former aides to support his bid for the GOP nomination.

Romney has spoken at the same group’s fundraising events. Six months prior, his spokeswoman [said of the group](http://articles.latimes.com/2011/jul/05/news/la-pn-romney-fundraising-20110705?ref=ivn.us): “We are pleased that independent groups will be active in fighting this entrenched power so the country can get back to work.”
