Benton suggests Romney Campaign involved with Caucus Cancellation

[CJLauderdale4]

An entire county wasn't counted at all due to snow (you'd think Maine could handle snow)

 

[wgadget]

Snow will be there after midnight. What a joke.

Or you could just vote for Romney since he's essentially Obama...

We can't run Rand in 2016 if anyone but Obama wins.

OMG!!!!

It's not just Washington County. I predicted many votes would not be counted in Somerset County too. The State GOP put out a press release with the town-by-town totals. I know my town, New Portland, shows zero votes. We had two votes for Ron Paul. I know there are other towns that were present at the caucus but not represented in the totals.

Republican candidate won't win without Paul voters

Yeah, sucks for them, don't it?

 

[amonasro]

This is bullshit. Are we just gonna stand by while they steal the caucus states? Because if we let them, they will.

 

[thoughtomator]

If the GOP gets away with this it's scorched earth time. If we need to go 3rd party so be it but the GOP will not be permitted to profit from these actions.

They don't understand the NOBP concept obviously........

They didn't listen to former GE CEO Jack Welch appeal to them to give Ron Paul dignity or else.

It really ticks me off that CNN reports a winner and changes the delegate count to the general public when the damn well know delegates aren't awarded and the total votes were not counted !

MSM is all about entertainment and ratings ! The days of the "NEWS" journalist are dead!!!

We won't have a country by then.

From the official campaign announcement:

Paul performed well throughout the state, although his campaign’s stronghold of Washington County did not report today for inexplicable reasons. Congressman Paul was barely bested by Gov. Romney by about 194 votes, a margin the campaign is confident it will make up with the 200 plus votes expected to come out of Washington County’s caucus.

If this turns out to be true, I will be voting for Barack Obama in the Presidential Election should Romney win the nomination.

That is called cutting off the nose to spite the face!

 

[RonPaul101.com]

unless we were going to win this single caucus by over 190 votes, IT MATTERS NOT.

It was the cancelation of the Washington County Super Caucus, a county that has a population of over 30,000.

 

[Student Of Paulism]

What's sickening is the damn thing wasn't even over. The whole fucking event should have just been canceled and they should wait til EVERYONE voted, AND THEN you announce it. So let me get this straight, they canceled/postponed/didnt count some precincts in this 'unofficial announcement', correct? Ok, so obviously done so Romney could win, without the rest of the count. So, when will be the OFFICIAL count? What if Ron wins the official count once the whole state is accounted for? Why even fucking make an announcement that doesnt even count? Seems to me they just wanted to get it over with, announce Romney as the winner, then if Ron does win later on, well, i guess it wont matter and it will be barely covered. In IA, Mitt 'won 1st', and Santorum 'won' weeks later, but it deflates the whole point after that. If Ron wins later on, it wont mean a thing and will go under the radar.

My goodness, what an utter disgrace this all is. It's more obvious than ever they are shafting him, with all these endless stunts they keep pulling. Now it's the weather for excuses. What is next, an asteroid is going to hit Washington?

I am pretty much with you on that. I was NOBP and was taking the write in option but now I am more inclined to tell the GOP to go F themselves and make sure anyone but Paul gets demolished in the election.

 

[No Free Beer]

If this turns out to be true, I will be voting for Barack Obama in the Presidential Election should Romney win the nomination.

Or you could just write in Ron Paul...

If this is true we need to ask for a recount after Washington County votes next Saturday. Since there is nothing going on in the middle of this month winning Maine belatedly could give us even more momentum later.
