Do political parties matter anymore?

The post Citizens United world has witnessed an unprecendented amount of money being spent on political campaigns, money injected directly to campaigns, not through the medium of the political party. Which leads one to wonder why even have the political party anymore?

Major donors - the Koch Brothers - seem ready to put this idea to the test. They are scheduled to have their own political convention in San Diego soon. Its not a public affair apparently. Its worth wondering what direction politics is heading.
