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.

Regular PACs its limit is $5,000. Those are usually the ones that bares a candidates name. "Super PACs" are the ones you can donate limitlessly to.

I just don't get why we can't just raise the limit on direct to candidate contributions. That way we can support candidates we like instead of feeding a sesspool of financial shadow games. It's illegal to donate to a canidate in a way that doesn't cause corruption. Yeah, that will somehow add positive regulation to election integredy.
