So what?
They have to report where the money comes from. If Shell did decide to give a candidate $100 mil, you don't think that will be used against the candidate?
Would McCain have won with another $500 million? I really don't think so. Would Obama have won by a larger margin with another $500 million? Again, I don't think so. Judging by what I saw this last election cycle each candidate is taking in enough money to overly innundate the American people with advertising. I don't see how more advertising is going to change anything, and if unpopular companies are donating large sums to a candidate it is going to hurt more than help.
