The numbers show fewer for McCain, and probably fewer than McCain for Romney. The base clearly didn't show up.
Also, your point about the House is effectively null and void, because the only reason so few seats switched is because of gerrymandering, because Democrats actually won the popular vote for the House. So tell me more about this right-ward shift.
That, of course, is not how the House works. But good on you for misunderstanding even the most basic points of our government to continue to advocate for a nonsensical point, I suppose.
