How Much Per Vote?

Via National Jounral, LA Times blogger Andrew Malcolm notes the per-vote breakdown of the candidates' expenditures:

Barack Obama spent $14.85 per vote received in Nevada.

The John McCain-Sarah Palin ticket spent $13.95 there.

Obama spent $7.23 per vote in Missouri, but still lost to McCain, who shelled out "only" $5.19. Obama spent $12.15 to win each vote in Virginia while the Republican spent $4.35.

How about Florida? McCain = $2.11. Obama = $8.86. New Mexico: Obama = $7.23. McCain = $9.25. Montana: Obama = $6.09. McCain = $0.

Ohio: Obama = $7.90. McCain = $5.80. Pennsylvania: Obama = $9.08. McCain = $8.51.

Kind of puts things in perspective, doesn't it?
