The price of winning

MPR News has an article about how much Michele Bachman paid to retain her seat in the United States House of Representatives.  According to the article the cost per vote of winning was $65.19.  Her opponent, Jim Graves, spent $8.70 per vote.  Of course, he lost by 4,297 votes.  Since he could have lost for a lot less than that, I suppose Mr. Graves overspent on his votes.
