Early Numbers, 08 Presidential Primary

With about 80% of the precincts reporting I pulled some numbers off of the Secretary of State's website.

• Statewide DFL turnout is currently 202k dividing into 135k for Obama, and 64k for Clinton.
  
• Statewide Republican turnout is currently 60k.
  

Which means second place Clinton got more votes than all of the Republican candidates combined.

Focusing on the 6th District the trend continues, though not quite as extreme. Where as the state wide ratio was 3:1, in the 6th it was 'merely' 2:1. Here's a graph of the results of the 6th district comparing apples alongside the oranges (a vote is a vote, after all).
