Official Maine Caucus Results Thread

[Verily]

We should start getting anecdotal drabbles within the next hour as the earlier caucuses close, so I figured I'd open this thread.

Do they release results before the last caucuses close?

[Verily]

I doubt it, after what we saw in Washington yesterday, but perhaps.

[MasterJedi]

Come on Clinton, you can win! (I doubt it but us Republicans can hope)

[Verily]

It's snowing pretty heavily in northern Maine. Not likely to affect results in a state like Maine, however.

Only anecdotal report so far is a "big Obama win" in Eliot, Maine (which is just across the river from Portsmouth, NH).

He should do well in southern Maine, no?

[Verily]

Probably. Another anecdotal report says Obama got 55 votes to Clinton's 54 in Fairfield, which means a split delegation. Fairfield's pretty far up in what I would imagine to be Clinton territory, but I don't know anything about the town specifically.

Houlton apparently went for Obama on huge turnout. That's a big surprise, although it is the Anglo area of Aroostook County. (Houlton is the last town on I-95, on the border with Canada.)

LOL, Maine. I just went to the website of the local news station in Portland to see what they might be reporting, and their top story is "Toboggans Collide in Camden; Six Hurt". No joke. (Their other four stories include another snow-related accident and three about the election.)

Chaos in Cape Elizabeth, probably a strong area for Obama:

Cape Elizabeth is a coastal haven just outside of Portland. Very wealthy.

Methinks this is looking like another Obama victory

Anderson 10%, Perot 44% (and first place)

Machiasport for Obama, 2 delegates to 1. That's a coastal town way up near the Canadian border.

Lets not jinx anything... dont know why i'm so obsessed with things being "jinxed" but still .

Starting to look pretty big. Of course I'd like something out of say Androscoggin before it means anything.

For everyone reading Al's Perot and Anderson scores, I just want to make sure you can compare them to the statewide percentage for each candidate:

Perot: 30.44%

Anderson: 10.2%
