We have a tremendous Grass Roots organization up here in Maine, and we are proud to
report that we are the 1st State in the entire nation to get Ron to the 20%
threshold (reports show him at 19% with 70% of the vote in). This should be
plastered all over the campaign website, and blog, and a press release done
NOW so the Super Tuesday States can see it and see what is possible when we
do our job of GOTV. The sad part is, I know of several instances all over
this state (including my own town) where several "professed" Ron supporters
ended up BLOWING OFF their Caucuses.

Folks, this is a fact: If all our people came out and SHOWED UP, we would have bested McCain in this media/preference poll.

Also, even better news to report about Delegates.
In Maine, the preference poll you're hearing about in the media is
NON-BINDING and has nothing to do with getting Ron nominated. The critical
part of the Caucus is having people step forward/volunteer/be nominated as
Delegates from their town to goto our State Convention (May 3rd). It is
THOSE delegates that cast the binding vote in Maine. Our grass roots
network are reporting an average of 35% of all delegates being
known/committed Ron Delegates. There are most likely more that we don't
know about yet. But 35% is a good conservative figure at this time. What
we just did in Maine should set an example and inspire all remaining States
out there, and especially tomorrow's! Thank you, Mark D
 
Nice. Good job Maine, if it wasn't so cold up there I might think about Joining the great freedom fighters up there.
 
It makes sense that Maine would like Ron Paul. After all, it's the only state in the Union with a single syllable name, which works out perfect for Mr. Paul.
 
They are your Acadien kin

Louisiana and Maine are related by blood, so you don't gotsto move dere.:D
 
The other factor to consider is that in several of the larger towns, Romney supporters came in, voted and left. There was no ID check, and in order to stay to be nominated as a delegate you have to give and address, but they didn't hang around for that...

Things that make you go "hmmmmm...."

However, that is good for where it really counts...i.e. the delegate count where we may indeed wind up being first.
 
ALSO,

State coordinator, Ken Lindell will be putting out a nationwide press release touting our delegate successes within the next couple of hours.

We have only four new towns from the 10 that caucused yesterday--and it was a wash between McCain and Paul. We did very well in Gray, but gave it all back in Cumberland. York and Kennebunk were close, with a vote or two either way only.
 
That makes Maine essentially a first place finish, right? It sounds like some kickass shit.
 
Yep...or darned close to first place. Our supporters are more passionate and will show up in May too, so, even if Romney tied our delegate count I think we have a real good shot at carrying the nomination at Augusta when the time comes.

The campaign and America have a lot to thank you for. I just hope the campaign will BLAST THE NEWS that, "Hey, we kicked ass in Maine, Nevada, and Louisiana!" Probably won't, though.

Yeah Steve, thanks man. Its giving the rest of us a good morale boost. between Maine and the other state which shall not be mentioned It looks like were going to win the delegates from 2 states.

We've got our Battle of Trenton down now so *WE* know we can win... Now we just need a Battle of Saratoga victory to prove it to the rest.

Lets win some States tomorrow!
