RGA raised and contributed $7.3 million to Christie's campaign

I know that the RGA ran plenty of ads against Jon Corzine because they were all over my television during the campaign, but now we know just how much those ads cost to air:
Led by Mr. Barbour, the RGA raised and contributed $7.3 million to the campaign of New Jersey candidate Chris Christie, allowing him to put up enough TV advertising to hold off both a late-surging Gov. Jon Corzine, the Democratic incumbent, and independent Chris Daggett. The result for the crime-busting former U.S. attorney, Mr. Christie, was a big victory in a state won easily by Barack Obama just a year earlier.
And as a result of that win, they made him one of the guests of honor at the annual conference this week:

I have to ask, where did they find that picture of our new Governor? It looks like something the Corzine campaign would have used in one of their ads. For $7.3 million, couldn't they do just a little bit better? It'll be interesting to see how that compares with what labor spent on the election.
