The Dems have a huge advantage in the total number of ballots cast over the GOP.

If Obama wins tonight, precedent has established that a Democrat who wins both Iowa and New Hampshire will win the party's nomination. However, we have never had a primary season as long as this one has already been, and precedents therefore may prove to be of limited use this election cycle. In any event, Clinton leads Obama by a small but significant margin with over a third of the votes counted.
