"Soon-to-be Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has a plan for how to try to keep the Senate in Republican hands for perpetuity, or least after 2016: get all the money. It starts with the legislative rider he plans to attach to the upcoming, must-pass spending bill to roll back campaign finance laws. That bill would make coordination between candidates and political party committees easier, but more to the point would massively increase the amount of money rich people could give directly to campaigns. To really capitalize on that potential rule change, McConnell is already setting up the mechanism for this."
