Should You Donate to a Candidate or a Super PAC?

It depends. Any candidate would tell you it?s better to give directly to his or her campaign, since the strategists working inside the campaign would know better than anyone what the boss needs to win. In addition, political candidates are entitled by law to buy advertising time at the lowest available rate, so your $50 donation could have more buying power if it?s in your candidate's own hands. You also have more control over your money when you donate to a candidate. For example, if you send a check to Romney and write ?Romney 2012 primary? on the memo line, the campaign cannot hold it for the general election or pass it along to other candidates. These restrictions are somewhat illusory, of course, due to the fungibility of money. But, at the very least, you?ll feel like you have some say.
