From The Ground in Maine: Romney's Plan Backfired

[harikaried]

Ron wins Auburn, 50 to Romney's 40 Ill pull teeth for the rest of the numbers ha. But by the looks of it they are in the 10s.

Last time..

Romney 35 Paul 13

So Romney gained 5 and Ron Paul gained 37 more votes this time.

Ctrattlesnake where is that quote in your signature from?

It's from the late night caucus in Nevada when they were reading out the votes.

Ha, Im actually in New Hampshire, so Ill get a blue screen of the sea coast and put it behind me. I grew up in Maine and have a lot of connections there. This is how I am getting all this info.

Go RON Go!!!!!!! thanks for the updates

Wow.

The Maine grassroots REALLY has it together.

Official Ron Paul Campaign? Maine is organized - State, County, Town and that's official campaign structure. It seems like we're seeing good results and there really wasn't a whole ton of the typical grassroots activities we're used to.

2012: Paul 53 Romney 38 Santorum 33 Gingrich 5
2008: Romney 30 Paul 18 McCain 16 Huckabee 4

Romney gained 8
Ron Paul gained 34!

$5.37 verses $5.40

Intrade due to a Nate Silver tweet rather than Matt Drudge's headlines has the price
for 1st place shares being almost identical for Doctor Ron Paul and Gov. Mitt Romney!

Well if the non-Ron Paul people don't like what Mitt is doing, then I assume that's good for Santorum and not us. Am I missing something here?

I am fully prepared for Santorum to start giving his speeches while handling live rattlesnakes. Probably driving demons out from a few attendees as well. One of his recent speeches sounded like he was going into "Mr. Evangelical Preacher" mode. Pretty funny.

The large caucuses are happening today.

But how did we do in the small caucuses? Someone must know. I read the quote where someone said "I've gone to every caucus so far and Ron Paul has dominated every single one" but I'd like to know if that's true. Someone has to know. Leak! Leak! Leak!

Also I'm still wondering about the last-minute rogue caucuses supposedly set up to give delegates to Romney. Was that story false?

I agree!

Best of luck to him getting people to show up after the media frenzy is over. Our guys dominate those kind of things. It'll be like the special caucus in Vegas all over again.

no, it was true

I'm hoping it's like Adelson's special caucus. When our people are furious, gotv is spontaneous.

 

[donnay]

What's with the GOP insider secrecy?

So it is easier to manipulate the vote tallies. Then when people start crying foul, the just ignore and move on. The media reports their manipulations and so it goes...

I don't know if it was fury. Maybe night time.

About those 5 mystery caucuses. One of the 5 was on the list the night before. I was sending facebook ads to that zip code. it was part of a supercaucus in either York or Oxford.
