We will never win a state if we don't force the people counting the votes to be open and accountable for their actions. If one state can be caught, then it will be likely that the other states later will not follow suit and be more open in the tallying process.

Surprise in the making.

NYT reports:

Romney 4,933 39.7%
Paul 3,234 26.0
Santorum 2,968 23.9
Gingrich 962 7.7

Still a strong second.

Northern New England is RP country.

And we win some delegates.

Delegate Allocation: Of the 17 bound delegates, 3 allocated by Congressional district on a winner-take-all basis; 11 at-large delegates allocated proportionally to all candidates receiving above 20 percent of the vote (winner-take-all if a candidate receives above 50 percent of the vote).

Great job folks. We did it. We blew the poll out of the water. VT and NH activists came together and we shocked Romney in VT! I was in the 2nd largest community in south VT most of the day.
