"It's the biggest debt the national committee ever had going into a presidential election cycle — at least in my memory," said former RNC General Counsel David Norcross.

Now, with Citizens United, the function of the parties as fund raisers will diminish. These giant corporate pacs can just donate to any candidate they want, right out in the open. Why funnel any cash through the party system?
