Romney Bought Nomination For $126,000 Per Delegate

A new analysis finds that Mitt Romney outspent his Republican rivals in order to secure the nomination, spending a whopping $126,000 per delegate.

CNN Money crunched the numbers from the Republican primary campaign and found that Romney spent $18.50 per vote, gaining 4.1 million votes and 607 delegates as a result.

While Romney swept all five primary states on Tuesday night, a significant percentage of Republican voters still voted against the de facto nominee, showing that he still has some work to do in order to assure the conservative base of his party.
