(Late to thread - here's an example of what David is talking about):

Node   Votes
-----  -----
node1  1
node2  2
node3  3
node4  5

Total: 11

Quorate 2-node partition:
  - node1 node4  (6 votes / 11)
  - node2 node4  (7 / 11)
  - node3 node4  (8 / 11)

Inquore 2-node partition:
  - node1 node2  (3 / 11)
  - node1 node3  (4 / 11)
  - node2 node3  (5 / 11)

Effectively, no matter how a 2:2 partition occurs in this configuration, 
one partition will always have quorum (and thus be able to fence).  Like 
a normal 4-node cluster, one node can always fail while the other 3 
nodes remain quorate.
