Eighty Four Percent?
Does anyone know why they only published 84% of the vote? Is there a chance we could end up like Iowa where we find out Romney did not win?
23:15 Update Ron Paul 2012 is now saying that when Washington County gets counted we very well may "win" Maine.

It's the same thing all the time
It takes them forever to count the vote

Now that RP campaign has
Now that RP campaign has released and announced their delegate strategy....everything will be put in place to block RP delegates. Anybody watching this from the sidelines would shiver to think that GOP offers America nothing but corruption and deceit...as if they were democrats....and this is at the caucus levels????
I won't believe the totals
I won't believe the totals either until our people see the ballots and/or the state GOP releases their numbers precinct by precinct and we can compare them.
Google spread Sheet
Why has Google spread sheet stopped reporting results? Are we to believe that Ron has lost a 9 point lead in every county?
Where is this great tea party Governor that didn't endorse Dr Paul? His he going to stand by while Romney steals the election? THIS IS WHAT STOPPED ME FROM GOING UP THERE TODAY,If I was there I'd be occupying the Capitol building now.
professorjoe
I am from Maine and have a very hard time believing this result
I attended a couple caucuses myself and spoke with several others that attended many other caucuses...in each and every case Ron Paul won, usually in a landslide. Like in New Gloucester today...RP 49 Santorum 33 Romney 16 Ging 4.
Last week in Gray, ME RP had about 75% of the vote, although they didn't actually release the results b/c they wanted to keep everything secret until today...Transparency? Not.
This seemed to be happening everywhere...do I have proof something is amiss..no..but it doesn't matter who votes..it is who counts them....Don't give up...just know there is far more support for Ron than the establishment wants you to know! If you knew how much support there is they wouldn't stand a chance...and they know it.
And you shouldn't believe it
Check the county spreadsheet at www.docs.google.com that is now at 1911 votes(not up dated yet) but shows Paul leading every county but 2 with a 9% lead.Tell me where these Romney votes come from that are going to change that to a 3% Romney lead with only 50% of the vote?This thing was stolen and we should not "move on " and let them get away with it.The campaign should launch a major protest.

So after waiting for about an hour and a half for them to announce the elected delegates in Portland, they claimed there was a discrepancy of 19 ballots at my caucus. This prevents them from announcing the delegates in Portland and also prevents us from electing a Delegate Chair. Seeing as how an overwhelming majority of those who showed up to be delegates were obvious RP supporters it's not hard to see what happening. NOT impressed

There are still some votes left
I don't think that what they did announce was all the votes, there are still votes that are not added yet:

I am watching google results for 2 hours.Ron Paul is ahead in every county except 3. In Cumberland he is only behind by a handful of votes, The ratio of 42% to 33% stays true as the votes come in and then they stop counting! just like Nevada.No results and the time is pushed back from 5pm to 6:20 Now I'm to believe that Mitt has over come a 200 vote deficit and is leading by the same 200 ? I now know we can't win as long as THEY count the votes. Stop wasting our time with the GOP and start the 2012 Ron Paul campaign for President!

I'm not concerned
I'm not concerned because even if these are the actual results, they are very good results compared to 2008, and again it's still all about delegates which I'm sure Dr. Paul will have the majority of, but still...It does not seem right and I think what they are doing will surface up very soon.
you don't get it
The campaign is about perception. This stops Paul from cracking the "He cant win " logo.Romney is now last man to win on the road to Arizona.The MSM will be beside themselves to show that Mitt is now the "Frontrunner" again.WE have to ask ourselves do we keep spending money on primaries they won't let us win or use it for an independent run?
professorjoe
NO WAY!
I am sick. Something bad happened, and it is something evil.
this is counter intuitive here
but does it hurt us to do the phone a thon which gets people that are romney/santorum/gingrich supporters to be reminded that there is a caucus. What I mean is that most of us are already in tune with what is going on but by trying to make sure we all show up are we in fact reminding and encouraging the other supporters to show up and support their members. i know a weird thought, but wanted to see what your thoughts are.
Romney campaign
says they are confident they are winning.
The sentiment around here is
The sentiment around here is that it's going to be pretty close between Paul and Mittens.
I also know the results of
I also know the results of the Biddeford caucus. I was there and am a delegate. We were asked by the chair not to let out the results because they want to release them all at 7pm est. So without letting out the numbers, we won by a good margin. You didn't hear it from me though ;-)
Congrats
and a very warm THANK YOU!
I didn't hear
from Stray that the Biddeford caucus went to Ron Paul by a good margin. Got it. :P
