"Meg Whitman spent $178.5 million on her losing campaign for governor -- $144.2 million of it her own money, according to 2010 campaign finance reports filed Monday.
The Whitman campaign's overall spending broke down to $43.25 for each vote she received in November's general election. From her own pocket, it was $34.93 per vote.
Whitman, a Republican, broke national records for personal spending, although the 'per-vote' spending king is still NewYork Mayor Mike Bloomberg. He spent $185 per vote out of his own pocket to win election to a third term in 2009."
