Yes. I think is was one more factor of Romney losing because of those voers that based on their principals, and the Paulites chose to not vote for the top of the ticket at all.
Obama got 58 million votes. Romney got about 56 million. McCain got 59 Million. The paulites, mormon haters, and a scattering of others who love to morally posture stayed home.
The stay at homes just gave us Obama II. Had the ones who voted for McCain voted again, we would have won popularly AND electorially.
