The impact was a decrease in potential revenue for broadcasters and Super PACs bought up tons of air time, at decreased rates. You also had the cost of everything going up a lot and local races getting flooded with outside money. I got bombarded with advertising for local candidates, and that is due to Super PAC money. It had a marginal impact on the presidential election. All it did was make for an arms race to the next level.
