Guess that super PAC!

As the race for the Republican presidential nomination charges into Florida, pundits and politicians will continue to trade barbs on the contentious issue of super PACs — those political action committees that can raise and spend unlimited funds for a candidate’s election, but have to be completely independent of the candidate’s control.

While some high-minded souls decry these strange new beasts and pine for their grandparents’ elections (when money didn’t matter and folks were tougher), most candidates just complain when they are less popular or their super PAC isn’t on top with the most money and the best ads.

All through the rough and tumble of the blows and blowhards, though, one common strain unites these clashing titans: A cloudy title that imparts a grandiose sense of self worth. See if you can match the PACs with the candidates below. Oh, and the one from our favorite pizza man is a giveaway.
