Rick Santorum, despite being outspent by chief rival Mitt Romney, enjoys a lead in the GOP presidential race in Ohio.

There’s a whole new animal in the 2012 presidential race: the super PAC. These organizations can spend unlimited amounts of money to influence an election, and do not have to disclose their donors.
While these committees existed before, a 2010 Supreme Court decision allowed them to directly support or oppose candidates.
