Does anybody remember how many turned out on caucus night 2008 for Dems and Reps?

119,000 for the Republicans. The Democrats don't release their turnout numbers, only the number of delegates elected to the state convention per candidate, but the day after the caucuses the NY Times reported that "more than 239,000" Democrats showed up. [Link]

Thanks - will be interesting to compare. I expect significant drops for both parties.
