There's probably some simple answer to this, but I really have no clue.<BR/>When the results were coming in last night, I was thinking that there weren't many Democrats that were out caucusing because of the low numbers. The totals were like 940 for Obama, 744 for Edwards, 737 for Clinton, and 53 for Richardson. The Republicans' numbers, on the other hand, were 39,814 for Huckabee, 29,405 for Romney, 15,521 for Thompson, and 15,248 for McCain. I then read that there were record turnouts for Democrats (nearly 239,000) and Republicans (nearly 115,000).<BR/>The numbers aren't making sense to me. I think the Republicans are adding up to the total, but what about the Democrats? Is there something I'm missing?<BR/>Anyone understand this?<BR/>It's my first time I've even been interested in this kind of a thing, so I'm sure there's something I just don't know about all of it.<BR/>Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
