Maine Saturday Open Thread

[neverseen]

Why are little sugar ants living in my monitor?

Why didn't these ding dongs make a tactical vote for RP :/ lammmmme

 

[Wooden Indian]

We don't have enough yellow tickets. I'm throwing 2 votes out. wtf lol

Yeah. WTF was that? Followed by, "It's only a non-binding caucus, anyhow". Who are these people?

 

[carterm]

imagine if those 8 santorum votes went to paul. hopefully speakers are saying a vote for paul is a vote against romney.

F5 FTW!!

Santorum supporters are hurting Santorum in Maine by not voting for Paul.

I honestly think that a Paul victory in maine would help Santy more than Ron ... but I don't care, cause Romney and Santorum are one in the same basically - just as long as it helps Paul.

 

[FriedChicken]

It is disappointing that with all the motivation and with everything on the line we tied with Santorum and only beat Romney/Gingrich by 3 votes. Washington ... we need those Santorum voters, win them over.

The 135 attendees at that Hancock ME caucus cover towns with about 8500 population. Would project to 500+ in Washington Co.

Unless we get over 50% of the vote, were going to need 700-800 to win.

If we get 800 people...and ron get 50% and mitt 20%.

Ron gets 400 votes, mittens gets 160. That would be just enough to win.
