40. The reason his numbers didn't move
Is because he got 17 percent in a small, homogenous state and he has pretty much the same appeal in rural and urban areas. As your voter share gets lower your base of support is more stable. Guiliani and Paul both stayed at 9 and 8 percent all night. Heck, Hillary got more than twice his share and hers only moved four percent.

And I do recall seeing one network graphic showing Edwards with 20% early.
