I now think we are arguing different points. I agree the analogy you offered is a weak one. However I was not trying to argue for the analogy you offered which was yards gained to incorrect holes being punched. I was making the argument that yards gained could be compared with popular vote, since in this case neither one could determine the winner on a national scale. A football team can out gain their opponent and feel they should deserve to win the game, but of course they could lose because the object is to score the most points, not gain the most yards. A presidential candidate can win the nations popular vote and lose the election because of the electoral college. This was the analogy I was saying was a good one, not the one you offered, which I agree is a bad analogy.
