Maine Saturday Open Thread

306 voters are at Washington. Pathetically low turnout.

That's triple 2008, but not as much as we needed.

 

[carterm]

we're going to need 80-85 percent with those numbers. tactical vote or that's it.

 

[parocks]

A big cheer as that total, 306 voters for Washington County, is announced. #MECaucus

probably. mathematically possible.

Speeches over, moving into prez caucus. Based on applause, a strong Ron Paul crowd. #mepolitics

 

[Pharazon]

Why isn't this streamed live?

 

[pauliticalfan]

For what it's worth, Mitt Romney got 40 votes here in 2008. The only way we win is if we keep his vote total the same, and convince all Santorum/Gingrich supporters to make a tactical vote.

Possible, but it's not looking likely...

 

[carterm]

also, how many can we expect from that other hancock cacaus?

The other one is smaller than the morning one where Ron Paul netted 25. So I wouldn't expect a gain of more than 10.

 

[carterm]

really hoping romney's people are from out of state. i know that a few are.

 

[carterm]

voting, minus the fraud.

 

[alucard13mmfmj]

After this week long hype.. only 306 showed up? That is pretty lame if it was indeed true >.>;;

This is truly an epic scene. I wonder how many in that photo fully grasp what is at stake.

I remember seeing a Romney campaign van at a super caucus on 2/11/12. It was full of young Romney workers. His campaign headquarters is in MA and the van had MA plates. None of those people were holding signs, though.

I believe that's a skunk hat i have seen them here in Canada. I think they are hats.

Assuming that all 250 supporters identified earlier show up, we'll get 80% of the vote, is that enough?

should be enough if we get 80 percent, depends on how the rest of the vote is split. also if we get 10-20 in the other hancock caucus it would help.

if we're short 20, everyone look to limington, york county, where they stripped us of 20 votes.

have we ever gotten 80% of the votes in a county or precint before? o.o
