Look, the argument of who won the popular vote is irrelevant, and the exact answer can never truly be known. Primaries aren't about votes, they are about delegates. However, if you really care about who won the vote, you must include caucuses, too.
Obama: 17,628,560 Primary 383,317+ Caucus 18,011,877+ Total
Clinton 18,055,516 Primary 179,604+ Caucus 18,235,120+ Total
Those numbers obviously do not include exact numbers for many caucus states that Obama won. Estimates of those states put Obama ahead.
But seriously, it doesn't matter, just like it doesn't matter in the general election.
