The books are closed on the most expensive non-presidential race in U.S. history, and defeated Republican candidate Meg Whitman's final tally is a record-breaking $178.5 million spent on her gubernatorial campaign.
[...]
Including the money she spent winning the Republican primary against Steve Poizner, Whitman spent about $43.25 for each of her 4,127,391 votes in the general election.
Believe it or not, she's actually thinking about running again in 2012...when Dianne Feinstein is up for re-election.
Good Lord, it grows worse. The LA Times report on this story notes that Jerry Brown spent only $36-million to defeat Whitman.
