$18.50: What The Romney Campaign Spent Per Vote

We had spotted multiple stats on the Mitt Romney campaign - we spotted this today:

"At the end of March, the Romney camp had captured 607 delegates and 4.1 million votes. That means the candidate, who has cultivated a reputation as a penny-pincher, spent $18.50 per vote, and $126,000 per delegate.
The money was used to cover various expenses like hotels, food, equipment, accounting services, rental cars, air travel, event consultants and online advertisers."
