Long Island, N.Y.) Three days before Super Tuesday, Texas Representative Ron Paul gained steam in his bid for the Oval Office by placing second to Mitt Romney in the Republican GOP nominations for the state of Maine and ahead of Senator John McCain in garnering over 35% of the votes. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney logged 52% of the total votes to win the state.
“In the last weeks, I was sure it was Ron Paul,” said Julie Ann O’Brien, executive director of the Maine Republican Party. “But in the last three to five days, both of the Republican candidates Romney and McCain really kicked into gear and got people up here.”
10-term Texas Congressman Ron Paul was the only candidate who personally campaigned in the state of Maine and drew tremendous support from local groups as well as the business sector from the area. In the last quarter of the year 2007, Ron Paul amassed over $20 Million of funding for his campaign and was the highest and most successful Republican fundraiser.

Where did you find this?
I can't find any updated reports anywhere on this, even checked Maines newspapers and online sites. All the newspaper sites still show reports from Feb. 2---can't believe the amount of collusion in all of this anti-Ron Paul news.

Official site is reporting on it too.
