“@BillNemitz: Final count: Paul 163, *Romney 80, Santorum 57, Gingrich 4, Undecided 2 #mepolitics”
 
I'm not so good at addition. What does this put totals at? Granted, I'm not sure which numbers to go by. I've seen like 30 different vote totals for the state.
 
@nhfreedom Washington County ME #ronpaul 163 votes, Romney 80, Santorum 57, Gingrich 4 and 2 were undecided #mepolitics #yal #c4l #tlot

There is another caucus on March 3rd.
 
We dominated that county, nearly tripled the 2008 turnout. Went from 8 votes in 2008 for Ron Paul to 163 in 2012 for Ron Paul. That is impressive. Ron Paul got 53.2% of the vote in Washington county.
 
Most of Ron's county level wins are pluralities. He really got an absolute majority there however, and that's still a great victory for the local grassroots volunteers.
 
163 (Washington Co.) - 80 = +83 (RP's Wash Co diff) - 194 = -111 + 35 (RP's Hancock diff) = 76 votes shy on Romney

This is just based on the current GOP's numbers going into today. Ron wins in Hancock and Washington. Unless the votes in other counties were wrong, it is hard to see where we make up this difference.

Anyone know?
 
It seem like Gingrich supporters understand political strategy and Santorum voters are about as clueless as one would expect.

In All fairness, Santorum likely has many more supporters in ME than Ron Paul does. If ME had a primary instead of a caucus, Ron Paul would have very likely came in 3rd. It just so happens that they didn't support him enough to caucus for him. Perhaps some of the Santorum supporters even voted for Ron Paul.
