Turnout in the Democratic primary that supposedly doesn't count in Florida (again, don't worry, Florida's delegates will be seated in Denver in August...) was an astonishing 1,734,456 (updating the numbers from my previous post.)
The final tally for the candidates:
Hillary Clinton 863,787 (49.8%)
Barack Obama 570,432 (32.9%)
John Edwards 249,500 (14.4%)
Joseph Biden Jr. 15,574 (0.9%)
Bill Richardson 14,866 (0.9%)
Christopher Dodd 5,423 (0.3%)
Dennis Kucinich 9,625 (0.6%)
Mike Gravel 5,249 (0.3%)
Total 1,734,456
I'd like to meet those Mike Gravel voters ... or maybe not...
On the GOP side, 1,924,346 people voted, although the field was more spread out, and John McCain won with far fewer voters than Hillary did. Here's the final tally:
John McCain 693,508 (36.0%)
Mitt Romney 595,830 (31.0%)
Rudy Giuliani 282,503 (14.7%)
Mike Huckabee 259,598 (13.5%)
Ron Paul 62,146 (3.2%)
Fred Thompson 22,389 (1.2%)
Duncan Hunter 2,816 (0.1%)
Alan Keyes 4,004 (0.2%)
Tom Tancredo 1,552 (0.1%)
Total 1,924,346
I think it's now official that there are more crazy people inside the Democratic Party than inside the GOP. More about 1,000 more Dems pushed the red button for Mike Gravel as GOPers did for Alan Keyes.
