Think we can win Maine after Today? Republican Chairman Charlie Webster says Think Again

From the AP:

The totals reflected about 84 percent of the state's precincts. [State Republican Chairman Charlie] Webster insisted that any caucus results that come in after Saturday wouldn't be counted no matter how close the vote.

"Some caucuses decided not to participate in this poll and will caucus after this announcement," Webster said. "Their results will not be factored in. The absent votes will not be factored into this announcement after the fact."

What would our founding fathers done about this?

I would take a page out of the history book on the Boston Tea Party, Put on some Indian apparell and take care of business. Our founding fathers didn't accept the taxes levied on the tea to King George did they? Why should we accept this joke of an election. Make OWS look like a picnic and make a scene about what is going on. If enough gather to have the vote counted then it will be counted. Then after that throw the bums out that currently run the GOP. There must be a precedence even if it happened a long time ago that would provide the court guidance on a judgement of the issue.

Mar 10 is after

super tuesday .... how convenient

when

Dr. Paul gets the majority of the votes from Washington County and if it does put him in the lead. We tally the votes and declare him the winner! Screw them saying it does not count. We'll send the vote tally to all sites on the web. It will be picked up by some. And then it will grow larger after that. We don't need this jerk to say it counts or not.Peopple can see who the winner is.

State GOP will meet March 10 to decide whether to count votes

According to Webster, party may allow Washington County votes.

That and a few choice words for Paul supporters here:

Let Me Get This Right

Are we mad at him because he tried to force those caucuses not to cancel by threatening not to count their votes unless they met by Saturday?

Or are we mad at him because when they refused to caucus, he lived up to the threat?

Rule of law? Or, break them when inconvenient?

Contact the Judicial Committee

The GOP has, possibly at each level, certainly at the state and national levels (try state first), a judicial committee.

Keep that in mind when these things happen.

However, if some localities did not want to participate, I don't see how we can question their refusal to bow to the central planners and hold their caucuses when the central planners told them to. Obviously, the press spotlight has moved on, and an announcement changing the winner later would just make the Maine GOP look silly.

Given how many people liked the idea of keeping our delegate strategy low-key, you'd think everyone would love the chance to win by stealth in Maine. Those who show up, win.

Well Charlie, with all those

Well Charlie, with all those RP delegates getting voted in it sounds like you're campaigning to loose your Chairmanship. By the way, thank you for making it blatantly obvious the gop is trying to screw paul. You're not going to count the vote from a county thay you delayed the caucus in due to bogus weather claims? How stupid do you think people are?

Were

the weather claims bogus?? was it not that bad? tried to look it up on weather.com but didn't get very detailed info.

Yes. Bogus.

The forecasts showed a few inches possible, and less than an inch actually fell.
This is Maine. Less than an inch isn't even considered snow.
The Girl Scout meeting even wasn't cancelled. The whole thing was a rig job.

Our "Two Party" System...

After being kicked out of the GOP's 2nd Congressional Convention in Missouri in 2008, for arbitrary and trumped up reasons (Every delegate from St. Charles County was excluded and removed because RP supporters took over the county caucus there)I stood outside the convention hall and asked a Kirkwood police officer under what authority could he remove peaceful participants at a political gathering. The conversation went something like this...

Officer: "The Republican Party is a private organization and they rented this space. They can decide who they want there and who they don't. They decide their own rules."

I replied with, "So it's something like a country club then?"

Officer: "Yep, pretty much."

33,000 people of that about 8,000 republicans that voted in 2008 and he has there nerve to say it wouldn't make a difference?

This man should be hounded out of the GOP.

Can this be contested? How

Can this be contested? How can this guy just decide to stop at 83%?! Esp since the vote is soooo close?

Witness the POWER of an IDEA - the MASSIVE Ron Paul Rallies! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgsg7a-Ok8Q

As if He can dictate reality! You already know WE ARE going to factor it in!

There will be a day when a Ron Paul Republican will be Maine State Republican Chair

I think Max Webster

better start looking for another job.

LOL, as hard as they may try,

LOL, as hard as they may try, they cannot rig the TRUTH, it will come out one way or another. They CANNOT forge the delegate count that will march through fire to get to that convention in order to represent Paul, the real winner of Maine stands even if he is not reported on. This should not dissuade us in any way!!!

Amen Brother

I have been thinking the same thing all night. NO ONE should be upset. Even if they never counted another vote, we walk away winners as we have in every state.

I still think we won Maine, as I do Nevada and Iowa. Hopefully when the dust settles this one will come out in our favor. I still am encouraged though - we won the delegate count and that is what truly matters!

Keep marching on patriots!

Make your vote matter this year. A vote for the lesser of two evils is still a vote for evil! Vote your conscience, vote for Liberty, vote for the Constitution, VOTE RON PAUL!!!

RP has to win some states to be eligible?

What is meant by win a state? Straw poll?

All you RP Repubs in Maine should be...

...studying your state GOP bylaws right now. This does not seem legitimate, and if it isn't, there should be some remedy within the bylaws.

What is begun in anger, ends in shame.

GOP to Washington County

GOP to Washington County voters:

"You can't vote today. We won't allow it due to some snow, even though every other county is still voting. Now as a result of us postponing the caucuses, we decided your votes wont count at all. You are all disenfranchised. Ha Ha!! Better luck next time suckers."

Let it not be said that we did nothing.-Ron Paul
Stand up for what you believe in, even if you stand alone.-Sophia Magdalena Scholl

So the Maine

GOP is as crooked as Nevada and Iowa. Time for the good folks of these states to clean house.

Telling article

It's time for a rEVOLution of the voters in Maine. What should be very telling for the GOP is that out of about 258,000 Registered Republicans only 5,600 showed up!!! They are doomed!

Yeesh!

That's 2.17% of the GOP voters! GOP's gonna lose this election. We have no numbers!!
