I can certainly see disadvantages. A PAC can't be directed by the candidate and therefore can spend the money on anything, even things unrelated to that candidate and the candidate can't even say, um, that's not really helpful, thanks for using my name to raise money, because even uttering those words would be a crime. So that's the disadvantage, but PACs do exist and people do donate to them and so there must also be some advantage.
