Official Maine Caucus Results thread

[GraniteHills]

Paul camp saying it will be really close, may come down to within 100 votes.

Yup, some CNN talking head said "maybe even 20 votes" to Wolf about 5 minutes ago.

 

[Bruno]

It's postponed.

Don't be paranoid folks. 2008 results: 51 McCain 40 Romney 8 Huckabee 8 Ron Paul

Thank you both

 

[Jtorsella]

I'm worried that paul is saying it will be close and Romney's predicting a win.

 

[blazeKing]

/facepalm


Getting closer to that 6:20 results time.......COMON MAINE!!!

 

[ghengis86]

We've always known it would be close, with Ron getting the slight edge. Expect more shenanigans if RP does win. Even more so should he not.

C'est la vie with the GOP

 

[parocks]

I will have a freaking meltdown if Romney wins.

No one can win today. The winner can be declared, I guess. But if we want to bust our ass getting students at the Maine Maritime Academy to vote for us, we have 3 weeks to get 800 votes.

Yeah, that's certainly not comforting.

Paul people: "It's gonna be close."

Romney people: "We're gonna win."

Who knows though, anything could happen.

 

[Royksopp]

Um what else are they going to say?

after voting finishes, if a candidate thinks they are not going to win they will start damage reduction- saying that they think they will do well but would not be drawn on winning, say that they have spent less, spent less time in the state etc.

This is very common, and the fact that Romney's team thinks they have won is very bad news.

 

[Brett85]

Ron is falling on Intrade. This isn't looking good.

It is worse that we are saying it is close. The contrast seems bad.

 

[The_Ruffneck]

someone explain to me how they can announce official results when the voting is expected the be very close and some counties have had their ballots postponed?
they could be setting themselves up for another iowa situation here

 

[Brett85]

It really wouldn't be surprising if Ron doesn't win this after not campaigning there at all this week.

 

[rp2012win]

They romney people have the numbers. They would not be sticking their necks out by telling a national television correspondent they were going to win unless they already had the results in front of them

Anything can happen?
Really?
Paul will not win.
The show's almost over.
Paul will not win a single state. Obviously. If we lived in a country where Paul could win a state, there would be no need for Paul.

Lol @ intrade..a romney spokesman claiming something can change the market? lol

Some people are just paranoid with their money i guess

 

[VictorB]

They just follow what the news says.

I'll then bump that thread I started on Thursday and say "I told ya sooo..."

Just shut up. They told CNN they were going to win Colorado on Tuesday and then got slaughtered.

This was right before the results were going to be announced, right?
