bump for great info !
lets have a repeat of the Adelson county late night caucus here !

I'm in Maine.

I voted already.

We didn't win mine 3/2/2/1 - we were in 2nd, and we got 2 delegates.

We are getting clear wins in a lot of towns. The results are being kept secret.

Here's what is being said:


From what we have learned of the Preference Poll results so far, the race for First Place in Maine a dead heat between Ron Paul and Mitt Romney. Many counties have been decided by as few as 2 votes! These are very narrow margins, every vote counts, and we need to Score a Solid First Place Finish for Dr. Paul.

Historically Androscoggin County has a very low turnout for Caucuses. Androscoggin County is allowed 286 delegate spots with an equal number of alternates, the best that Androscoggin has ever done is to fill 115 of those spots.The race for Maine will be decided in this Saturday and Dr. Paul needs all hands on deck to ensure victory.

Caucus day is Saturday, Feb. 11
Voter registration will take place from 9:00-10:00 AM Independent and Unenrolled voters may register during the registration hour only.
Program will begin at 9:00 AM with line up of distinguised speakers.
All Towns Caucus individually at 11:00 AM

Geiger Elementary School, 601 College St., Lewiston
All towns in Androscoggin County come's together on the same date, time and location.

Its Now or Never.
Let's Win This for Dr. Paul

Please attend the Caucus this Saturday to vote in the Straw Poll and consider becoming a delegate. It is important that we know who is planning on attending, please respond to this with your intentions.

27% in Maine ? when ? which poll ?

MN - Minnesota, ME - Maine. He was mentioning how we had a good run in Minnesota although having low polling numbers, so a poll wouldn't give Ron Paul justice in Maine since it wouldn't be accurate.

[affa]

I have heard of nothing of the sort. Where did you get this from?

he got it from the damper, obviously.

If we don't win in Maine, I don't know if we'll win anywhere

South Dakota is pretty safe for us nomatter what happens.

If we don't win in Maine, I don't know if we'll win anywhere

A small western or midwestern state without a lot of Mormons or Evangelicals. CNN just gives us Washington when they're playing guess. They're hesitant about Maine.

Portland is at the same time, basically. A lot of Cumberland and York.

Agree. I think money would be useful at the county level. So, you can send some to the county coordinator. If you want to see more turnout in Lewiston, send there.

I'm not saying that we have to win Maine, but it's pretty important from a momentum standpoint. The media will write us off - "strong second place" finishes or not, if we don't.

Anything less than a win in Maine and Washington is a disappointment in my view, but that doesn't mean much because when I compare to 2008, I really am thinking back and asking 'why am I disappointed'? It means we've come a long way where we actually hope for the better and thus we expect to win.

 

[ironj221]

I'm so confused on why Maine is a potential win for us. There was been zero polling and Romney took it with 50% last time. What is this information based off of? I hope we aren't raising the bar too high.

Agreed. Technically, in order to be considered a candidate at the convention, Paul must win 5 states. So whether or not the plan is simply to amass delegates, Paul needs to start winning:

I agree that this year is inspiring even if Paul doesn't win. As a longtime libertarian, it's exciting to see both Paul and Johnson doing big things on the national stage.

When Paul campaigned there during the Florida race he built up a decent following but I don't think there's been polling since then.
