Ron Paul beats McCain in Maine!
I just got back from my town's Caucus up here in snowy Maine.
The results:
Undecided: 1
Guilliani: 1
Huckabee: 2
McCain: 9
Ron Paul: 11
Mitt Romney:48
It should be noted, however that TAG ROMNEY was there. MITT ROMNEY'S SON was at my caucus, so needless to say, it was a stacked deck. So, that being said, i think Ron Paul did well.
Oh, wait! I KNOW he did well...
how do I know this?
Well, my town has 27 delegates that are unbound, and go to the state convention, where Maine selects it's national delegates. Out of the 27 delegates from my town, 11 are Ron Paul delegates! So, despite Romney's "victory", Ron Paul actually has more delegates representing him! (notice how ALL 11 Ron Paul votes are delegates - EVERYONE NEEDS to do this!)
So, that's my report. I was happy to give up my friday night and drive through a snowstorm to help Ron Paul win.
Don't give up the fight!
1 undecided?
why'd they come out?
especially in the icy crap going on out there
i just went to the store... my Ron Paul signs are still there, just ice covered now... but you can still read em clear
undecided - remember delegates are not bound so they can decide later (if they were elected in as a delegate)

Save the Signs....
We got some signs from Florida and South Carolina and they sure are helping here in Bama. We are losing about 20% of our signs per day so we need to keep them coming....save them for a later state!!!
Send them to Mass or Conn. when you are done with them.
Excellent! Keep up the good
Excellent! Keep up the good work.

Grrr!!
STUPID ROMNEY! Oh how I loathe that man and his campaign and his stupid, stupid supporters. Argh.
Just so you know, I lost to him in my county too -- 44 to 37. Without this lying slimy sleazo sleaze-bombing the race, we would have won.

... is in full effect, it seems ....
Winner take all in your county?
How many RP delegates is your town sending?
Zero
Sorry for the confusion -- my contest was in Wyoming, not Maine. The county chose one National Delegate. He goes straight to National, no middleman. Wouldn't that be great if Romney drops out? WY's delegates are unbound, so maybe we could "turn him from the dark side".
How in the hell could someone vote ........
for Guiliani, they must be living under a damned rock.He quit remember?

Who ever heard of anyone vowing to vote
for a candidate, even if they had to write him in? I know I've heard of that before.

True, but does Guiliani really inspire people THAT much?
That is almost laughable, really. Guiliani has been called a lot of thing, but inspirational is not a word that comes to my mind.

I have a few choice words to call him....
but this is a family forum. From a fellow Alaskan (Anchorage), I look forward to seeing you at the caucus.
Government is not the solution. Government is the problem.
If I burn to many bridges I'll never get off this awful island.
You must have missed 9/11!!
I don't believe I've ever heard that explanation and I've heard some pretty absurd explanations for 9/11!! I'd ask that you apologize immediately!
LMAO!
Hey can I come live in Alaska when the S hits the F? Then I could be Dale in Alaska!
He was sitting on top of that person....
Shouting, "9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11" over and over until they agreed to waste their vote.
Then he head-butted them with his former comb-over skull.

I have a crazy prediction.....
If Ron Paul places 1st or 2nd in various primaries/caucuses/Super Tuesday that are coming up in the next several days, Iran is going to get bombed.
Just a crazy thought.
Call me nuts.

Can you share
Any mechanics or "lessons learned" from your experience so others can emulate or avoid tomorrow?
I second this request please...
Can you describe what it was like:
I've never been to a Caucus here in Maine
Was there a RP table? If so who was working it?
Did people wear candidate T-shirts, pins, etc....?
How long did it take?
Did anyone talk about Ron Paul - if so what was said?
Do voters ask questions?

Was a real disappointment - I really expected a win there from all the chatter her and everywhere else - then the dreaded slates and candidates in multiple parties started arriving - don't want to get caught with our pants down again.
Go Maine!
Go Maine!
Truth please: Romney's sons are driving in voters, right?
As in, these people would not have even shown up without the Romney harem driving them there, right?
Also, what was Tag doing? Was he directing the votes?
More important: Why did the poll workers allow him in? This must be illegal.
Please, file a complaint with the FEC.

Question for those in Maine (or anyone who knows!)
I'm trying to make sure I understand the Maine process - the caucus runs until Sunday, correct? So we should have final tallies/results then?
Thanks!
probably
i'm assuming so.
the majority of them are tomorrow so you may get most of the results tomorrow night if not sunday morning.
just a guess
Sort of
Each town sets their own date / time. So, you have to go to the Maine GOP website for locations and times. Only a few are actually on Sunday because of the Superbowl.
here's the schedule:

about 95% will be complete by Sunday
We're told results should be official by the 4th/5th
Saturday night, we should all know though. Maine is planning to do a thing for the media Saturday night.
