Obama's total vote will probably come out somewhere in the 55-60 million range, with Romney a few million below that. That would mean that the Obama campaign spent less than $120 million? I thought the Obama campaign itself raised far more than that, without even counting expenditures by independent groups, super PACs, labor unions, other Democratic campaigns, etc.
