You probably don't need to wait for the official GOP announcement on the Maine caucuses, which won't come before Feb. 11th.

Ron Paul supporters in Maine have a very good discussion group on Facebook, and you can follow the Maine Caucus as it continues to unfold over the next several days.

There already have been significant and very promising results in small towns where there's already been a caucus.

Ron Paul supporters have been doing very well in this state where he got more than 18% of the vote in 2008.

He's been winning in each of the small towns I've seen reports from as of this date (these results only are preliminary, so you'll want to see the bulk of voting as it happens in the next 8 days).

The facebook page is NOT expressly for the purpose of publishing results...however, some people have been reporting what has happened at their caucuses.

Also, it's important to remember that the candidate votes at the caucus are a preference vote ONLY. The real action will come later at the state convention. The important part of these caucuses in in the selection of delegates and Delegate Chairs.

Most of the caucus voting is scheduled between Feb 4th and Feb 11th.

The caucuses in some towns already have occured, and here's result taken from the facebook discussion page --- You will want to check out the docs tab.

"The next item of business was the NON-BINDING PRESIDENTIAL PREFERENCE POLL. This is basically a vote on who each caucus goer would like to see get the
Presidential nomination and carries NO weight, other than to assess the
possible direction of the DELEGATES. This simply was done by each
caucus goer by writing a name on a piece of paper and passing it in to
be counted. The Maine GOP has wanted to keep the results of these polls
a secret so they can announce the results on 11 February 2012 in
Portland. If your Delegate Chair is smart, they will announce the
results to the caucus goers. This makes the process more transparent
and prevents for the possibility of manipulation, especially if we
demand to see the town breakdowns on the 11th of February.

There is another Facebook page you might want to join, called Now or Never-Maine: It has a large membership and also is dedicated to the Maine Caucus. It means reading non-caucus specific stuff to get to gems like this, posted on Wednesday by a Ron Paul caucus goer:

"Lee had a great caucus, and we had a good time as most rural Maine folk do at a town get together! We filled 6 out of 7 delegate positions so far, 5 I think are Ron Paul supporters, 1 undecided. Of the polls, 7 unanimously voted for Scott D'Amboise (NONE for Olympia Snowe!), 6 voted for Ron Paul, 1 undecided. All four Penobscot county committee member positions were filled with constitutionally-minded folk."

(note, that in the Scott D'Amboise vote they are not speaking of a presidential poll but of a US Senate poll taken at the same caucus)
