They spend a tonne on campaign ads etc. and they do this without coordinating with the candidates they are supporting, If a liberal is leading a poll you can bet on a few free billboards or commercials for the republican candidate the next day. I read somewhere they spend upwards of $15 million a year on political activities without actually having a paper trail to any candidate.
