Soros opens his wallet to SuperPacs

Earlier this year, reports surfaced that George Soros was “not all that focused on American politics,” and “caught in an uncomfortable dilemma” with the idea of donating to SuperPacs.

In spite of his misgivings, liberal billionaire George Soros has signaled that he will open his wallet for President Obama and Democrats. A spokesman announced that Soros will donate $1 million to American Bridge 21st Century, a liberal SuperPac founded by David Brock, the founder of Media Matters and $1 million to America Votes.

Soros’ $2 million, however, pales in comparison to the $23 million he contributed to Democratic groups in 2004 to defeat George W. Bush.
