A messy eastern storm

[Hildy Johnson]

Actually, while many Maine towns will caucus this weekend, with the majority on Saturday, others will not meet until later in the month. March 20 is the deadline, I believe.

Also, town delegates are technically uncommitted. We can assume that if Dr. Paul takes a majority of the towns, that he will end up the delegates that matter at the state convention in May.

But really, if the media says this candidate or that one "won" the Maine caucus, all he really won was a glorified straw poll.

The seniors in Maine will stay home. The good weather in NH cost us the election there. NOBODY will brave that kind of weather for McCain !

The problem we are facing is that the media has turned this into a two man race. What that means is they are trying to pin McCain and Romney against eachother to have higher turnout.

So, in reality no one would go out in the cold to vote for McCain, they would go out to vote for him if they hate Mitt Romney and are worried he could win and vice versa.

We need to get this thing down to a One on One with McCain and Paul, then people would be willing to sit it out because they would think that Paul has no chance, or they don't care about McCain and don't want to vote for him.
