This number says it all: 59%

59% of the caucus goers are women.

That won't be the percentage of the vote that Clinton gets but it's a big indicator of her winning by a substantial margin.

1. Everybody Hates Penn

But Penn says if Hillary get the nomination it's possible women will make up 56% of the electorate...That would be historical...

2. what's interesting about this, cali

regardless of who wins - election '08 could end up being the "year of the older woman"

It looks like women, 35 and up, have been coming out in droves in every contest we have had so far.

3. Edwards is low, and won't meet the threshold in many places.

Where his voters go will have an effect.
