The final tallies are in for the Gubernatorial race in New Jersey last year. Jon Corzine outspent Chris Christie two-to-one the primary and general election campaigns, $31.5 million to $15.5 million. Even those numbers are a bit misleading since Corzine was essentially unopposed in the primary while Christie had a legitimate race on his hands.

Additionally, the Republican Governor's Association spent another $7.3 million on Christie's behalf, which was offset by $7.1 million in spending by Democratic groups on Corzine's behalf.

Despite the $15 million spending advantage, however, Corzine lost by four points.

If you add last year's spending to the $38 million he spent in the 2005 gubernatorial race and the $62 million he shelled out running for the Senate in 2000, Corzine spent more than $131 million - nearly all of it from his own fortune - over his nine year political career.
