By what factor has Hillary broken the previous record for most money spent in a failed primary bid? |
|
It's got to be a factor of three or four times as much as the prior record for the most money spent in a failed primary bid, right?

2. I suspect this is part of "closing the deal" issues; no one's beaten an opponent who spent so much. |

3. She has been tebacious beyond the point of rationality. That's a passion we should tap but NOT as VP |

4. Wasn't Romney's expense record even worse?? |
|
Did he even get any delegates?
Of course, at least it was mostly all his money.

5. Romney spend a ton, but I don't think he spent even half of what Hillary has spent (I think Giuliani |
|
also spent a ton, but less than Romney or Hillary).

8. Didn't Bill Richardson spend more that Giuliani on a per-delegate basis? |
|
I thought that Richardson spent nearly as much as Hillary and Obama in Iowa and New Hampshire on TV spots

Rudy G will hold the record for a while. I think it was 50 million for 1 delegate.
Mittens spent around 100 million but got around 200 delegates so it was 500,000 per delegate which is a deal compared to Rudy.

7. Plenty of campaigns have spent substantial sums and never won a single delegate. Has anyone ever |
|
beaten an opponent who spent even one third as much as Hillary?
I think it bodes well for Obama that he has beaten a candidate who has spent so much -- more than any unsuccessful primary opponent ever. I'm just wondering what fraction of Hillary's budget was the previous record for an unsuccessful primary campaign.
