We're just a few steps shy of Wal-Mart running for president on this ruling. What happens when the corporations start shelling out money to a candidate that their employees despise? The employees can only donate up to their personal cap in this case to vote with their wallets, while the corp. hands out millions without restraint. Congress won't even have to pretend to listen to their constituents anymore. I expect they'll all be sporting cigna and exxon logos on their lapels next to the American flag before long.

Obviously, this ruling will have sweeping effects on primary elections, but I'm not seeing the big deal with regards to general elections. Especially when you consider the growing divide between the two sides. This ruling doesn't just apply to corporations, either. Organized labor now has the same ability to spend freely.
