Ron Paul Sweeps Northern Maine Caucuses
Fort Fairfield Journal l February 3, 2008
Texas Congressman Dr. Ron Paul scored a stunning upset win over all three of his opponents
in the Aroostook County Presidential Preference Survey during the weekend caucuses just
concluded. It also would appear that Dr. Paul's supporters won the lion's share of the
delegate seats to the Maine Republican Convention in early May from the county.
There were 3 undecided voters in Aroostook County with regard to the presidential
preference. This vote is a non-binding survey merely intended to indicate Maine
Republicans' preference for President. Delegates were also selected for many towns to the
Republican State Convention.
Aroostook County volunteer coordinator of the Ron Paul 2008 effort, and Vice-chairman of
the county Republicans, Steve Martin of Amity, had this to say about the upset results.
"I love Aroostook County people. They are the most independent-minded and
deeply-considerate folks in Maine. It is clear that Dr. Paul's message of reduced
government, lower taxes, personal liberties and non-interference in the internal matters
of other nations struck a cord here in Aroostook County. Dr. Paul's opposition to a
Northern Maine National Park coupled with his deep respect for private property and gun
rights also played a part in sweeping all three caucus locations."
The county Republicans will be meeting again for their regular monthly meetings at the
Presque Isle Inn & Convention Center on Saturday morning, February 16th at 9:00 AM.
With all Aroostook towns reporting, the results were as follows for Aroostook's 3 caucus
locations:
Fort Kent:
Ron Paul 3
Mitt Romney 2
Mike Huckabee 2
John McCain 1
Houlton:
Ron Paul 16
Mitt Romney 11
Mike Huckabee 8
John McCain 4
Presque Isle:
Ron Paul 29
Mitt Romney 27
John McCain 17
Mike Huckabee 16
Aroostook County totals with percentages:
Ron Paul: 48 votes 34.5%
Mitt Romney 40 votes 28.8%
Mike Huckabee 26 votes 18.7%
John McCain 22 votes 15.8%
Undecided 3 votes 2.1%
