2000 - 12,917,000
2004 - 14,016,000
2008 - 16,133,000
2012 - 17,813,000 (record level of 66.2% of the eligible voters)

So you have about 3 million or so voters that may or may not vote in an normal election. Plus its unlikely Hillary is able to get 93-97% of that vote like Obama did.
that's substantial, ~5-6% of the vote for BO
