1. To be fair...
When did McCain clench the nomination? Because I'm sure that Republican primaries that took place after that fact had lower voter turnout than if he were still running a competitive race.

2. Well, three of the 4 most interesting ones
came before that. MI, FL, and NC came before, where Oregon, obviously comes after.

If you count close calls, then you can add the following:

He came close to Hillary in
Alabama
Georgia
And counted more in the Kansas Caucus

And close to Obama in
New Hampshire
Oklahoma
West Virginia
