Cost Per Vote and Votes Per Ad Iowa Style

Left in Alabama:
I poked around a little bit with good ol' Google and dug this up. Obama spent $9 million on about 11000 ad spots. Edwards spent $3.2 million on 3700 ads.
Clinton spent about $7.2 million on about 8000 TV ads. Huckabee spent $1.4 million on 1800 ads. Romney spent $7 million for 8500 ads. Thompson spent $1.1 million for 1100 ads.

So, in advertising costs alone, Obama spent about $99 per vote. Edwards spent about $45 per vote. Clinton spent about $104 per vote. Huckabee spent about $36 per vote. Romney spent about $246 per vote. Thompson spent about $74 per vote.

More fun with a calculator - Obama got 8.26 votes per ad. Edwards got 19.38 votes per ad. Clinton got 8.66 votes per ad. Huckabee got 21.53 votes per ad. Romney got 3.35 votes per ad. Thompson got 13.47 votes per ad.


Good job Hearding Old Cats at Left in Alabama!
