First report I see.
Romney 38%
Newt     34%
Somebody is going to be eatin crow if they are wrong.

they are saying on cnn that Newt won and that Romney is waiting to make a speech.

Yep ,
I see vote tally jumping back and forth.
ROFLMAO

they are testing the New Stupid.

What does it mean when over 10 thousand votes are cast for folks no longer running?

time*treat
My guess is the people that voted for someone not running but still on the ballot is showing their support they would have had for that candidate.
Those candidates suspended their campaigns and not closed their campaigns. My guess is since they were originally qualified to be on the ballot they could remain on the ballot.

Here is an article I just found on Cain.
I would imagine those candidates still have the option to go actively campaigning if they chose to do so by only suspending their campaign.

I read just recently that Cain is on the campaign trail promoting his 999 plan. Just not up front in the news now

an excerpt
It seems Cain has found his own solution to one of his lasting problems: the high price of running for president. CNN reported Saturday that by “suspending” his campaign rather than ending it officially, Cain can still raise money to retire his campaign debt.
