Why would a person and his supporters spend literally $millions* to get elected to a position that pays $174,000 annual salary?

Why would a person and his supporters spend literally $1billion+ to get elected to a position that pays $400,000 annual salary?

* Recall that in 2010, McCain ran out of money for his senate reelection and had to borrow $20 million from his presidential campaign fund.

I still wonder about that, but no one else has shown any interest: how did his manage to have at much and more left over from 2008 presidential bid, when he had to use the FED fund part-way through the primaries?
