They aren't going to stop writing checks, they are going to write checks to different politicians (or people trying to get elected).
While the electorate are apathetic, moneyed interests will get their way.

What I disagree with is the conveyance of funds to front groups that obscure WHO is doing the speaking. There is a distinct flavor to the PACs && SuperPACs that connecting the message to the author would allow the public to gauge WHY they are taking a particular position. Given the government's/industry's attempts to limit the anonymity of individuals, I find the corporate attempts to enhance and leverage that anonymity troubling.
I don't think we'll get the money out, but I do think we need transparency in the process for all or for none.
