Thus far this election cycle, Republican-aligned super PACs have outraised Democratic super PACs by a margin of more than 3-to-1, reports the Boston Globe. According to the Globe, the tally is $158 million to $47 million. That doesn’t include $10 million casino mogul Sheldon Adelson gave to Restore Our Future, the super PAC backing Mitt Romney, because it hasn’t been officially reported to the FEC.
The imbalance comes as well-to-do Republicans have been far more generous than their Democratic counterparts, more frequently tossing as much as $1 million or more into the GOP cause.

Beyond the sheer volume from some donors, the imbalance also is reflected in the number of individual entities making jumbo donations. At least 35 individuals and corporations had donated $1 million or more to Republican super PACs, compared with 16 (including seven labor unions) to Democratic groups.
