According to the non-partisan Campaign Finance Institute —non-candidate groups will end up spending around $564 million this year.
That's up 40 percent from two years ago. Most of the additional money appears on the conservative side.
The institute projects that ultimately about $334 million will be spent to help Republican candidates.
That's about $100 million more than pro-Democratic groups are likely to spend — a reversal from 2006 and 2008.

Just think if they donated all that money to charity...
