Turnout

At this point, it appears that the turnout on the Democratic side has been much better than the turnout on the Republican side: in particular, scanning down the list of results on CNN's website a moment ago, it appeared that the Republicans led in Georgia, and that Alabama and perhaps one or two other southern states are the only other ones in which Republican turnout came close to the Democratic turnout.
Is this because the Democrats are more engaged in the race? care more? are more energized?

Of course, Utah is yet to come in.

Yours, definitely energized,

My guess is the Dem. race is still anyone's to win or lose, while the Rep. is generally viewed by the party members as a foregone conclusion...thus not much incentive to go out and vote.
