You wouldn't be asking this question if you didn't already have some knowledge of what happens to the leftover money, but I do believe that somehow the campaigners figure out a way to "use up" all the money and more to show that they even owe money instead. Have you ever figure out why there are candidates who haven't got a chance winning yet consistently keeps running?

Depending on the state, they can either keep it as income, donate it to other candidates or move it to other campaigns.
Examples
Former Congressman Mark Foley (R) had donated up to $550,000 of money he received in donations towards his campaign to the NRCC. Of that amount, $100,000 was donated the summer before the Nov 2006 elections.
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D) is expected to move $14 million dollars left over from her senatorial re-election campaign to her presidential campaign coffers/

It's a rarity but they sometimes don't spend it all. I have always assumed it went to the political party if the candidate was not going to run again. If they plan on running again they can keep it in a special account for future use.
