Jack Hunter: Big Win For Ron Paul in Maine

Ron Paul 2012

With 95% reporting, Ron Paul has over 36% of the vote in Maine right behind first place finisher Mitt Romney, who has barely 39%.

But when all the votes are counted will Romney still be in first place? Only 194 votes stand between Paul and a first place victory. Washington County is a stronghold for Paul and has yet to report. It might be a week before we know the final outcome there and Washington County is expected to yield 200 votes or more.

Still, Maine is a state in Romney’s backyard that he should’ve been able to walk away with easily. That Mitt almost lost to Ron tonight–and that Mitt still may lose to Ron in the days to come–does not bode well for the establishment candidate. Romney shouldn’t have had to campaign in Maine and yet circumstances forced him to make a last ditch effort.

Santorum, riding high on Tuesday, was 20 points behind Paul tonight. Newt Gingrich, who won South Carolina with 41% last month, got only 6% tonight.

The truth is if every Ron Paul supporter would become an activist we would be winning every state in a landslide.

I believe you are very much correct. After tonight and looking over the numbers from several perspectives, the thing that sticks out most to me is that Romney lost a considerable amount of support in a State that is his backyard. At the same time Dr. Paul almost doubled his support, which is the message we should take out of this.

Now we need to start getting our feet on the pavement and begin knocking on doors. Use any and all means of creative advertising and just simply outwork the competition all the way to Tampa.
