Via the AP: N.J. Governor Race Costing Near $1M a Day

New Jersey’s two multimillionaire gubernatorial candidates burned through $14 million in 18 days this month, according to campaign finance reports released Friday.

Democrat Jon Corzine outspent Republican Doug Forrester more than 2-to-1 during that time, the reports show.

Corzine has maintained a narrow margin over Forrester with less than two weeks before the Nov. 8 election, according recent polls. Only New Jersey and Virginia are choosing governors this year.

Sounds like Forrester is getting more bang for his buck.

I must confess that I am somewhat surprised that the race is as close as it is–and not because of the money.
