I dont believe this crap again Romney with over 50% wtf is going on

 

[RufusTDoofus]

I don't understand the Romney thing either. In our general area I haven't heard of any support for Romney. There's one Romney sign out in front of a big house near the Sugarloaf ski mountain. Other than that, nada.

 

[bkreigh]

Same here. It has been quite in regards to Romney. They sure showed up though.

 

[Molly1]

You guys did great! Even third place is great! Just 100 votes away from Mccain. Still another third to count. Only 68% is reporting.

 

[Green Mountain Boy]

Why does yahoo say that Romney has 18 delegates?

 

[seapilot]

Same here. It has been quite in regards to Romney. They sure showed up though.

Just like they did to the Florida straw poll a couple of months ago? The one thing Romney is good at, is buying things for a lot of money.

Because they dont understand the process, they assume that the delegates are all awarded to the winner of the straw poll. They arent though.

Crap this is becoming hopeless. This isn't a democracy anymore.

 

[RufusTDoofus]

The caucus rules and process here in Maine are somewhat unique. I don't know of any other states that work the way we do. The Democratic caucuses follow their own different set of rules as well.

 

[jdrochon]

It's been at 68% now for an hour. Hmmm

 

[RufusTDoofus]

I don't expect it to change any more tonight.

 

[kickzman]

Man I was really hoping for this to be a win. But the Revolution has to carry on atleast the message.

 

[Rangeley]

We are winning the most delegates, the straw poll has no bearing on the delegates at all.

yeah, the ron paul people still have not learned to fight fire with fire.

Can you please explain the process on how they assign the delegates. This is somewhat discouraging. Not fatal but certainly hurts.

 

[Rangeley]

...What are you talking about? Again, we are winning the most state delegates, which is what determines who receives the national delegates. The Presidential Preference Straw Poll has no bearing on who receives the national delegates.
