The campaign for New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Chris Christie announces it has raised $1.2 million since the beginning of the general election. That sounds good, but when you go up against Jon Corzine, you go in knowing you’re going to be outspent. In his 2000 Senate campaign, Corzine spent $39 per vote; in his 2005 race for governor, he spent $43.20 per vote.

Of course, Corzine’s ads may not be as useful this time around, with focus groups rating them underwhelming.
