That's certainly possible, but I didn't hear anything about such an effort other than the now-customary web site links to get out the vote.
Other unexpected results in my opinion were the strong showing by Choice (yes, their promos have excellent value, but the product is weak) and the complete shut-out of Hilton from the top 5 places.
