Paying for Elections

John Corzine - former governor and Senator from New Jersey spent a great deal of money to be both.  In the 2009 election he spent close to $32 million of his own dollars to remain governor.  To get the Senate seat he spent close to $75 million of his own money.  To win the governor's race the last time, he spent over $50 million.  Over $130 million spent for the couple. 

Now we hear Michael Bloomberg spent $100 million to keep his job and in total for all his camapiagns well over $230 million.

We should realize that I have only counted two people, admittedly two of the wealthiest but still, only two.  $360 million for the two of them.


I want to throw up.
