How Many People Actually Voted in the Nevada Democratic Caucus?
Not many.

Compared to the other contests where the turnouts were large, I think this was a silly contest.

Certainly, the results do not reflect the number of people who support John Edwards in Nevada.

Hillary's win and Obama's strong showing at second rings hollow to me because I can not accept the 5% number for John Edwards as a credible number. It may be the correct one in this circus of a caucus, but it hardly represents what he should have gotten in a real primary.

Does anyone know how many Democrats actually voted in this silly thing?

1. my son, an Edwards supporter, is not a government employee so he had to work
today in Reno. So Edwards lost him. I am sure there were more. Not everyone in Nevada works on the Strip in LV.

3. Well, we already know it's more than participated in the 2004 'silly' Nevada Caucuses
:eyes:

The NSDP should be proud of the work that they did - they increased voter turnout and kept it organized.

Complain all you want.

They did well.
