Restore Our Future, the super PAC backing Mitt Romney's candidacy, raised $30 million during 2011, thanks in part to separate $1-million donations from three New York-based hedge fund executives: Paul Singer, Robert Mercer and Julian Robertson. Two privately held corporations each gave $1 million to Romney as well.
You can find more info on Singer by googling "evil blood-sucking parasite that starves the poor for profit".
Tuesday's filings did not include the $10 million that Adelson and his wife gave to a Gingrich-allied super PAC in January, but they did reveal that the entrepreneur's stepchildren separately gave a total of $1 million to the fund, known as Winning Our Future. That group also received a $500,000 check from Dallas billionaire Harold Simmons, whose company also gave $1 million to a super PAC backing Texas Gov. Rick Perry.

The reports also spotlighted the lopsided fundraising race between Republicans and Democrats when it comes to this new breed of political organizations. Although President Barack Obama is far outstripping his potential challengers when it comes to fundraising, GOP super PACs are pulling more money than their Democratic counterparts.

American Crossroads disclosed that it received $18.4 million, with $5 million coming from Simmons personally and an additional $2 million from his privately held holding company, Contran Corp. An additional $500,000 was reported from Crow Holdings, run by Dallas real estate baron Harlan Crow; Kenny Troutt, a billionaire communications executive also based in Dallas, also gave half a million dollars.
