It makes them better known and more relevant for future speaking engagements or Fox News contracts.

You are right...the superpac is just an all expense paid vehicle for publicity....

Do failed presidential primary candidates get to keep what's left in the campaign chest?

It doesn't matter who enters the race.

Bush will be the Republican nominee as I have been saying all along.

I do not know but Congressmen have similar campaign funds wherein they can use money to pay salaries....to family members who are "staff" on campaign payrolls. I wonder if a Superpac could be used to pay a "salary" to a close relation (spouse or child). Ron Paul is known to pay family members salaries...I wonder if any goes back to the patriarch?
