Official Maine Caucus Results thread

[JJ2]

They are trucking in snow machines right now to take care of the lack of natural snow.

THIS.

ROFL.

It's the eastern part of the state. Washington County.

The last caucus is on March 3. the Maine GOP knew this when they decided on their big party for Feb 11.

Exactly. There are other caucuses after Feb. 11 anyway that could change the planned "results announcement."

 

[parocks]

Less than 100 people voted in 08, so it hardly has a major impact on what goes on in the state overall....unless the race is very close

113 actually.

And if we want to win, we can just go to the Maine Maritime Academy and really bug them with Free Beer every day for 3 weeks. There are 800 students there.
And the caucus is on March 3.

Parocks, do you know when the MEGOP changed the time of the announcement to 6:20?

 

[bronxboy10]

I am in Boston right now. They were calling for 3-5 inches of snow today, we got nothing. The storm system stayed offshore. I can't imagine any part of Maine getting any significant snowfall from this system...

Parocks, do you know when the MEGOP changed the time of the announcement to 6:20?

And why?

 

[freeforall]

How often does it happen that a snowstorm only affects one county?

 

[RPtotheWH]

Maybe Romney needs more time to get out the dead vote?

 

[speciallyblend]

I need a Win Today. It has been a hard day today. I have the denver gop trying to deny my delegate spot. I do have the campaign and all the voters standing up for me but i swear you get f'ed over so many times and the anger boils!!!!! MAINE I NEED YOU!!!!!! ps i don't want to make a thread about what i just said

Washington county is the easternmost county in Maine...the storm glanced the coast so washington got hit the worst

 

[swissaustrian]

The ground is probably frozen, so it's certainly tougher than in a Southern state

On the radar it looks like a narrow band really hitting one county (not sure which) and some snow to the north of that county.

oh, i see

 

[odamn]

so, they've got a week to fudge the numbers this time?

 

[parocks]

I'm here. Buy a big house in Castine. Have it be a "brute force GOTV training camp".

800 students. How good can we do.

If the spreadsheet is to be believed, here's New Gloucester.

2008 - Romney 17 - Paul 1
2012 - Romney 16 - Paul 49

That's where Ron Paul went after Lewiston today.

Funny, since current radar shows no weather of much consequence over Washington County (the one farthest east)

Here is NWS radar: http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=CBW&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=yes

Total nighttime snow accumulation of only 2-4". Sounds pretty lame. They could've done it earlier today, no problem.

 

[parocks]

And why?

today. not sure when. I hit refresh, and it was different, but I've had that browser window open a while.

 

[Bruno]

Was Washington County strong for Ron Paul? CNN just stated they cancelled their caucus. Cancel to me means they won't hold it at a later date.

 

[pauliticalfan]

CNN essentially covering CPAC Straw Poll results equal to the Maine Caucus. Unbelievable.
