Ron Paul beats McCain in Maine!

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)

... is in full effect, it seems ....

How many RP delegates is your town sending?

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

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.

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?

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

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:

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.

weird i know.

I had to restrain myself from wanting to strangle him. He's just as plastic and polished as his father. They are practically clones. It's sickening.

And the delegate numbers are "estimates", and they're not STATE delegates. We merely represent our town when we go to the state caucus. So, it's not an official "National" delegate, but the more town delegates we have, the more of a chance we'll select a Ron Paul "National" delegate when we hold our state convention.

Mitt, Tag (out), Ball, Bat, Base, Rosin Bag?

Is that each town selects a certain number of delegates who represent the town in the state caucus in Augusta a few weeks from now. These delegates are "unbound", and are eligible to be selected at the state caucus to represent Maine at the National convention. These are also "unbound" delegates. So, for us Ron Paul supporters, we have a greater chance of becoming state delegates.

So, back to my town, out of the 27 delegates, 11 were Ron Paul supports, 8 Romney supporters, 6 McCain, and 2 Huckabee. So that group would then go to Augusta and elect delegates to represent Maine in the national convention. So, even though Romney won our "presidential preference" poll, our delegates don't have to vote for him, because they're unbound. And since we have more Ron Paul supporters as delegates, we have a greater chance of selecting Ron Paul delegates for the national convention.

I think what he means is that in the National Convention if Romney drops out these delegates get to chose whoever they want, also if there is no clear winner in the votes the first time they vote again and can choose whoever they want.
