How much does your vote cost?

Interesting look at a local race and the actual costs to candidates to "buy" people's votes. Comes out to about 99 cents a vote.

1. A bargain at twice the price I say

Linda McMahon, in CT, dropped about 46 million dollars into her badly losing race for the Senate seat. It was calculated that she spent an average of $100/vote that she got making her the biggest loser in the nation.

Chances are this idiot will not learn from her mistake this time around and we'll be inundated with her likeness again in two years with the Senate race to replace the scumbag Holy Joe Lieberman.
