So far, Paul is doing better in the counties the website's reported that Romney won in 2008.  Although, they may be cherrypicking results, so...

I'm in DC with my phone, and the reception is terrible, so websites with images kill my battery... Can somebody post an update or a link to the googledoc?

Paul's had gains from 2008.  I think it'll go for Paul.

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

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

Makes it easier... we can just consider all the Louisiana purchase states as one state.

Apperently, the Republican Party of Maine has decided to consider correcting any errors in the count in a timely fashion.

Another public relations disaster for the Romney campaign. Why did they think they could get away with it?

How is this a PR disaster for anybody other than the MEGOP?

The Dems managed to run their caucuses perfectly fine in 2008. It's only the GOP that is full of incompetents.

Glad we can rely on you, Lief, to provide a truthful, unbiased analysis on the caucus process!

All jurisdictions should move to primaries and scrap the caucus method.

Republican primaries should be open to registered Republicans only.

Democratic primaries should be open to registered Democrats only.

All jurisdictions should have delegates awarded in proportion to their percentage of the popular vote received.

The drawback I see, however, is this may lead to no candidate receiving a majority of the delegates by the time of the convention, in a hotly contested nomination race.

That would require states like Michigan to adopt party registration.  You can't do that without the legislature's cooperation.

Amen

I second this. It is absolutely absurd that Rick Santorum might win more states thanks to the support of Democrats For Obama.

Blame the state parties.  It's the Republican Party's fault they have open primaries/caucuses.

So is there any last-chance hope for Paul?
