Las Vegas Underneath the headline that Clinton won the Nevada caucuses are two other notes: (1) Edwards finished with 4 percent. That’s right. Granted that number is an over-performance compared with the caucus site I attended where only 8 of the 495 voters were for him. At what point does Edwards take the hint? Weren’t some people saying that he had an outside chance to win here? (2) If you’ve been following the turnout numbers since Iowa, Nevada is more ominous news for Republicans: Democratic party officials have been saying that they expected 45,000 people to caucus, a 400 percent increase from their previous high of 9,000 caucus goers in 2004. I just got an email from the state party saying that with 88 percent of the precincts reporting, more than 114,000 people have caucused for the Dems.
