To the Editor:

   Win or lose, this is Barack Obama's last campaign; no one has ever won the U.S. presidency after losing the office.  It is therefore significant that David Axelrod proposes to end the pernicious influence of superPACs only if/when Obama has been re-elected.  Such a deathbed conversion would look cynical if it were for the sake of heaven. To do it while soliciting yet more money for the current campaign gives new meaning to "chutzpah".
