Primary stats

Of the votes cast so far (imputing caucus participant preferences from state delegate allocation, a method that punishes Edwards because of Nevada), Obama has won 47% of votes, Hillary 32%, and Edwards 19%.

In other words, the gap between Obama and Hillary -- 15% is larger than the gap between Hillary and Edwards -- 12%.

Simply put, Barack Obama has utterly dominated the nomination process so far.

Of course, the delegate situation is slightly different. Of pledged delegates, Obama has received 46%, Hillary 35%, and Edwards 19%.

So even though Obama "stole" a victory in Nevada, Hillary is the one who has benefited most from allocation quirks.
