As an American, I don't know what that means either. I'm assuming "liberal groups" and "conservative groups" are PACs that support one party or the other, but aren't officially associated with that party.

And that highlights another disgusting part of our campaign finance system. Donations to PACs are less restricted and much easier to hide. They're supposed to be separate from specific parties and candidates, but many candidates run their own PACs. It's a giant, unlimited loophole in the system. Everyone knows it. But nobody can close it because of a bad Supreme Court decision.
