Money raised for campaigns

It has come out about how much both Romney and Obama have raised for their campaign in April. Obama is leading with raising $43.6 million, and Romney raised a close $40.1 million dollars. I think that is is ridiculous for one month because that money could go to better things. Some of this money could be going towards helping the poor, or other programs that need financial help. You could make $1 or $2 million dollars and be alright with campaigning. I understand that it costs money to run your campaign, but does it really need to cost that much. No, matter how much money you spend on commercials, pamphlets, buttons, or anything like that if people do not like you, people don't like you.

What I want to know is why is there so many people that pay all of this money to a candidate?  It goes the same with them they should be donating their money to other causes that could help out the community as a whole, rather then to candidates. When looking at the open secrets website that showed how much money each candidate has spent so far it amazes me. 1 million dollars here $500,000 here. What i want to know is what goes into these campaigns that cost so much.?
