"Democratic consultants are busy setting up a network of their own.
And as NPR's Peter Overby reports, they'll be soliciting contributions much bigger than the legal limit for the candidates themselves.
PETER OVERBY: Democratic operative Chris Harris says his side was amazed last year.
Mr. CHRIS HARRIS (Democratic Strategist): Just amazed by how much Republican groups spent and how ill-prepared our side was.
OVERBY: American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS spent $39 million. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce spent 33 million; American Action Network, 26 million. That's well more than double the spending of the top three labor unions.
Mr. HARRIS: We sort of just sat on our hands and complained about it. And we all know that going forward we cannot do that again."
