Maine - a successful caucus

[noztnac]

It's interesting that Dr Paul get more contributions from actual servicemen and servicewomen, while his opponents do well in places (like So. Carolina) where the military-industrial complex is a big part of the local economy.

Bangor has a military presence, doesn't it? What about Scarborough?

Are you insinuating that there aren't servicemen in SC? Guess you've never been to Parris Island.

That is 108 out of 217 where you give numbers, that is 49.8%. So Ron Paul is going to win the Maine Caucuses, it looks like.

There are over 3000 potential delegates. The numbers look good so far but there are way too many outstanding to start predicting victory.

Aren't there 3000 potential delegates? This is what I've been confused about and haven't seen an answer - we can figure out how many Paul wins from certain precincts, but how many delegates are there overall?
As in - couldn't 200-300 be the final count if it's a really low voter turnout/delegate turnout?

It's important that find out, in the weeks and months before the state convention in May, how many delegates we have comitted to us (which shouldn't be hard) how many we have to recruit to fill empty spaces and if we can organize caucuses in towns that didn't caucus this past weekend in accordance to party rules.

If we want to get a majority of Maine's national convention delegates, we have to keep at this until May. It's going to be a lot of work but it there will be a great payoff.

Potentialy, yes, it could be that low. It doesnt have to be 3500 total, thats if every city, town, township, and plantation held a caucus and filled all spots. But we know that this didnt happen, it was much less than that.
