The GOP also has plenty of states where it's theoretically possible for the guy with the most votes to get fewer delegates, though I don't think that happened anywhere this time.  Look at CA, where the GOP assigned an equal number of delegates to every CD.  While McCain won big enough that this wasn't an issue, it would have been entirely possible for Romney to win the statewide popular vote, while McCain won the delegates because of strength in the heavily Dem. districts where few Republicans vote.  In fact, many were predicting that that would happen.
