In particular, a senior Paul aide had suggested that the Romney campaign was involved in the cancellation of Washington County’s caucuses, a small county where Paul’s campaign had expected to do well. “It’s not completely insidious, but they knew we were going to swamp it up there,” said Paul campaign chairman Jesse Benton.
The state GOP said that the caucuses were cancelled due to inclement weather.
I see no reason to forget.
REMEMBER (THE) MAINE!
This Statement in the Article is HUGE
"According to Webster, the state GOP chairman, there are 505 municipalities in Maine, of which 420 have caucused. An additional 40 or so small municipalities will not hold a caucus at all, and the remaining will hold a caucus in the coming weeks."

How was the decision made not to caucus some of those small municipalities? Who made that decision?
Did the decision follow state and/or GOP rules?
"40 or so"? Where is the list?
So by the chairman's own math there are (505-420)= 85 municipalities left to caucus?
There are LEGAL questions here
Here's the list

All the ones with zeros are the caucus that were either cancelled or that have not caucused yet, mainly in Washington, Aroostook, Hancock and Waldo counties.
I haven't counted all the zeros but it even looks more than 85 municipalities left to caucus.

And the beat goes on.....
Do you really think they will let RP win?
See results in 2008 of Nevada and Louisiana.
He won but he lost.........SSDD
Can't wait til this country collapses....the people get what they deserve.
Wow. That was so encouraging. Not!
Just because you gave up, doesn't mean you have to post your negativity to everyone else.
Be positive, help out and Ron Paul will Win the Nomination and the Presidency!
Ya think?

never mind

Freedom may be worth searching for.
Remember, Dont battle the govt with guns(ALONE), Beat them in court, in state legislature, or hire Ron Paul for president.
I want
to still see the results from each precinct or causus!
Did they just make up the freakin numbers. Yes it was a planned shut down of Washington County. Are they all deaf, dumb and, blind!

People should show up in en
People should show up in en masse next Saturday and turn Washington County into a Ron Paul rally. That would rock, and get lots of headlines. If Ron had two thousand votes, then at least a thousand should be able to come.
It's all about the headlines.
YES, working on that right now
I have screens shots of their own spreadsheets. NOTHING CHANGED except their 'total' where they suddenly decreed Romney the winner by 3% when he was actually losing by 9%.
Washington County and the other three won't be counted.
Nice! The screen shots should
Nice! The screen shots should be sent to Paul campaign if needed. The people in Washington County will be counted I think, the GOP chairman was just trying to discourage people from coming to vote next week and he will announce that Washington County will be counted AFTER the caucus there. They simply can't make 17% of their towns not counted because that would make the other 83% of Maine not counted too right?
"The true Patriot will repeal the Patriot Act..." - Ron Paul.
Please keep us up to date
Let us know what is going on and please keep the screen shots. send them to all the gop and to ron paul campaign headquarters.

that Politico article seemed bent towards Romney--
to me, with the exception of that one excerpt (in the OP)--
I wonder if there is anyway this can be proven?
(that Romney interfered)
it's hard to be awake; it's easier to dream--
Disappointing Tease
I thought this was going to be about someone reporting that this is what happened.
Instead, it was someone quoting the Paul campaign. Not the same thing at all.

Yeah Michael, That's the First Thing I Thought of Too!
"Brother: Wow...Really? You're that concerned huh?
GOP Official: Oh yeah. They have me setting up other caucuses in the smaller towns to get the delegates.
Brother: Is that possible? The deadline is February 11th.
They're going to announce the tally.
GOP Official: It has nothing to do with the straw poll. We're not going to add them to the tally, its about getting delegates. You know, it has nothing to do with the straw polls right? It's all about the delegates. You know, I've been to all the Caucuses in the county and Ron Paul dominated them all....hands down."
"We're not going to add them to the tally"
What is that saying, something about no coincidences.
I think the best we can do with this is just refuse to forget and move on. Don't bog down on this alone but always keep Maine and the other clear manipulations of the process as a major topic which we also use as another reason the country NEEDS Ron Paul.
The perpetrators are hoping we will rage a few days and move on.
The MEDIA will not help-they will assist any way they can to force this into the memory hole.
The campaign would need rock solid proof to squawk because running with less than rock solid evidence would just provide more fuel for the MEDIA "Kook/C.T." meme.
The worst fear for those behind the instances of election manipulation would be an incessant whispering campaign of truth that will not die and continues to grow.

Serious charge
if provable.
This could likewise be RevPac's chance to make a legal case
Gloves should be off
If I was in charge of the Ron Paul campaign I would launch a 100 million dollar lawsuit against Mitt Romney and his presidential campaign.

“The most important element of a free society, where individual rights are held in the highest esteem, is the rejection of the initiation of violence.” Dr. Ron Paul
That will be quite a headline
That will be quite a headline for the MSM.
"The true Patriot will repeal the Patriot Act..." - Ron Paul.
If the campaign could expose Romney...
as having manipulated the results in Maine, it could represent a turning point for Mitt. That is, if the MSM reports it at all.
Something needs to be done,
Something needs to be done, and fast. Romney strong armed Nevada, and possibly another state or two to move up their primaries to benefit him. And now this? Since when does a couple of inches of snow bother people who live in Maine? That's a nice winter day up there. And with a county left to go, and few other municipalities that are Ron Paul strong, the Maine GOP decides their votes don't matter?
'Scuse my french, but, WTF is going on, and why isn't anyone doing anything about it? The FEC should have people all over the primaries watching.

Wow...
I hate Romney even more. Truly pathetic.
I don't play, I commission the league.
Jesse Benton.. "they knew we were going to swamp it up there"

I know its Jesse Benton, and
I know its Jesse Benton, and he's a great guy, but he's wrong...it is completely insidious.
after watching Ron and bernanke
let's remember Ron Paul is thorough and relentless. he never asks a question that he does not already know the answer. i suspect the campaign continues this tradition.
"The two weakest arguments for any issue on the House floor are moral and constitutional"
Ron Paul
No its more like the campaign
No its more like the campaign cannot openly rebel against the GOP without getting pounded by the MSM for "attempting to disrupt the democratic process".
Its the fed owned MSM that continually disrupts the process...
...to favor lawyer/lobbyists doubling as candidates.
