The help from PACs and 527s I'm talking about is not money given to the candidates' campaigns, but money that the organizations are using themselves to promote a particular candidate. A lot of PACs and all 527s operate independently of the candidate and their campaign. Obama didn't like the idea of either candidate doing an end run around an agreement to take public money by relying on these outside organizations doing their dirty work for them.
