I deleted the last part of the post about PACs, which said (incorrectly) that Madia and Dillon had each received only one PAC donation. That's true of Dillon, and Madia has received (and returned) only one <em>corporate</em> PAC donation, but both of the leading candidates have received a large proportion of their contributions from PACs -- the difference being that Paulsen's war chest includes gifts from corporate PACs while Madia's does not.

He has taken money from and returned money to one corporate PAC. He has accepted and spent money from other PACs. According to CQ MoneyLine, as of August 20, 2008, Ashwin Madia had taken in $368,668 from PACs and candidate PACs. This makes up about 30% of his fundraising totals.
