Thing is, what CU enables is advertising. They can't give money to a candidate, or even to a PAC that the candidate controls. CU buys candidates by buying voters. In the end, the voters have a choice to turf out the politician. They don't. Maybe that's not what voters "really" want deep in their hearts. But they vote, and that's all anybody can really know. I care about that more than I care about what they tell pollsters.
