There was some bad analysis early on after the 2012 election that claimed Romney got less votes than McCain. But it eventually proved false and only looked that way at the time because all of the vote counts hadn’t officially come in yet and the total recorded counts were a lot lower.

I agree. In most cases, Mitt got far more votes than McLame.

BTW, I know a guy who says that right now, due to his model based almost entirely on home ownership, the Republicans will never win another election. I certainly don't think that's true, but it's an interesting correlation. He says he can look at a county's rate of home ownership and tell which way it votes.

The problem with that is that there are places like Scarsdale or Malibu that have high rates of home ownership and are extremely lib. On the other hand, Scottsdale AZ has a high rate of home ownership and is extremely conservative.
