* Incredibly, Governor Romney received nearly 1 million fewer votes in 2012 than Sen. John McCain received in 2008. (In 2008, McCain won 58,343,671 votes. In 2012, Romney won only 57,486,044 votes.)

2 corrections. McCain got almost 60M votes. Romney currently has 59.4M, with many votes still uncounted. CA, which has only 71% of the total counted, may add a million or more to Romney's total. I believe he will exceed McCain's 60M.
