HA! HA! McCain lost his own home precinct by 13%
John McCain may have won Arizona by nine points over Barack Obama, but he lost his home precinct. Election data from Maricopa County shows that the state’s very own presidential nominee lost to Obama by 13 points in McCain’s Colonnade precinct: 42 percent for McCain, 55 percent for Obama.

So maybe the McCain neighborhood (Phoenix location) doesn’t quite reflect the senator and his beliefs. Voters in that Biltmore-area precinct also voted against Proposition 102, which effectively bans gay marriage, by a 16-point margin. McCain is on record as opposing same-sex marriage.

3. as a face saving gesture
He may average the results in his home precincts. Or the mean, or median. Or just take the top 30% of his home precincts.

Somehow he can pull these numbers into line.

5. I don't think FDR ever won his, actually. Anyone have the numbers?
The R's ALWAYS had a republican congressman - Hamilton Fish.

6. Thank you so much for your spirited rationalization of John McCain's lose in his precinpt
by using FDR. It must have taken a lot of brain matter twisting to come up with that one.
Good on you. Another McCain failure now explained and justified! How about that? :eyes:

7. FDR was FAMOUS for not winning his own district. It made his look stupid and McCain's look

smart.

Gore lost Tennessee.

I've been a fervent opponent of McCain and his candidacy here.

Good grief!!

8. Gore won his own district but lost Tennessee in 2000

Obama won his district in 2008 and won the state.

I really don't know what your point is.
