Maine results thread.

[Free Palestine]

All right, which one of you guys did this?

I laughed so hard my head hurts a little.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Romney now in position to win by super tuesday with WA, AZ, and MI contests coming up.

[Eraserhead]

Ron Paul is on CNN basically saying he believes Romney has the nomination wrapped up.

Christ, bro. Just drop out.

[Free Palestine]

I wonder how many Paul votes will be found deep in the Adirondacks two years from now.

Ron Paul is going to clobber Santorum and Gingrich in the next debate. It's going to be fun.

[Alcon]

good lord guys, do you just assume that Ron Paul automatically loses 10% in every race based on election fraud?

Another amusing turnout-related statistic for Maine:

Maine straw poll votes: 5,524
CPAC straw poll votes: 3,408

[The Mikado]

Alcon: in addition to Washington, there are also 14 caucus sites in Hancock County still out.

It's a conspiracy!

Wrong mountain range, in the wrong state. Actually, the mountains where the stolen Paul votes are, are rather prosaically called the "Northern Appalachians."  And yes, Alcon the votes were stolen, and I have marked their location, in case Twilight Sparkle wants to put on his knapsack, and his snowshoes, and his scuba gear (since they are at the bottom of a lake), and hike over there to retrieve them.

[Eraserhead]

Oh, btw, over at the Ron Paul Forums, the mood is furious... at Ron Paul.  Kinda belies the whole "cult" notion.

Those are all totally on target, especially the second quote. You have to actually want to win in order to win most of the time. Ron Paul doesn't. His interview on CNN tonight made that entirely clear. He's fine with being the eternal runner-up. Gross.

He should just drop out after this. Seriously.

[Lief 🗽]

Ron Paul should drop out at this point and endorse Mitt Romney like he's always wanted to. What a joke.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Oh look, Paul fails to perform. Shouldn't we be used to this by now?

[You kip if you want to...]

How many Paulites have pulled the voter fraud card so far?

Disappointing, to say the least, that Mitt won. He's no comeback kid.

[RI]

Paul probably won one of the CDs, right?

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Ron Paul's strategy seems to be to build up political capital by winning some delegates and sucking up to Romney to help his son in a future race.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

This made me laugh harder than Romney losing CO

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Dang it!  2 blown states now.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

How has it been called for Romney if not all the caucuses have been held?

[RI]

The caucuses held after today don't count.

[Rules for me, but not for thee]

It's a chess game between RPers and the GOP establishment in these states.  RPers try to dominate the delegates, the state GOP moves the caucuses around to try to foil them.  Not really election fraud - just tactics.  Ron Paul's going to be riding this to the national convention.

[Minnesota Mike]

FWIW here are the town by town results

http://www.mainegop.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/me_gop_caucus_results.pdf

Romney crushed in Cumberland County, winning by 206 votes (46.6%-33.3%). That was his margin of victory.

BTW for all you Paulite conspiracy theorists I found an error in the South Portland numbers. They list the total number of votes cast as 81, but if you add up the individual numbers you get 85 votes.  I am sure they crewed Paul somehow

[RI]

I went through and summed up all the town-by-town results to get the county totals. Santorum won Somerset County. Either I or the party is missing some votes for Romney somewhere. All the other votes add up:



EDIT: They were in Oxford County. Mitt actually got 129 votes there.

[Meeker]

Maine used to be a part of Massachusetts so this is really a home state win for Romney. Should be disregarded.
