BS. Romney received a million more votes than McCain. And Obama's numbers went down by 3.5 million compared to 2008, but he still beat Romney by 5 million compared to beating McCain by 9.5 million.
David Leip's Atlas of Presidential elections
The difference in those numbers mostly represents the Kamikaze Conservatives who stayed home and allowed Obama to win, thereby teaching the evil Republicans a lesson about RINO's, Mormons, or something.
Just a myth. The facts don't bear that out.
Thanks for jumping in there!
