Maine.

GREAT news. (unless it pushes the "primaries are better" theme)

The greater good of the electoral process far exceeds the value of any one mans job. If his job loss amounts to a change in the approach of the coming caucuses and primaries, then so be it.

the point is that primaries are LESS transparent and MORE manipulatable so it would be a step BACKWARDS for process.

yay, slap on the wrist.

Webster has said that the state party committee will discuss the caucus process at the March 10 meeting, but he doesn’t believe that including all state votes will change the outcome. He also has said that he will not release updated numbers until that March meeting.

Of course not. Can't give Paul any momentum heading into Super Tuesday.

These people are sick.

*********************

Washington County Maine needs MONEY. This person (Valerie Page) has been working on the ground in Maine. I suggested we sent money to someone who can spend it.
Here's what I got back from her on Facebook.

*******************

I set up a paypal James. My email address is [email protected]. I would like to get a crew in place to 1: start calling the district, I will call Eric and get a list from him and 2: to head north for the caucus. Maybe we will have enough donations to cram a few of us into a hotel room, who knows?
Thank you for your help in all of this. We will be heard!!

*********************

Valerie Page is taking an organizational role, for those who are sending money, those who are planning on going to Wash Co., etc - see her email there.

By the way - she's trying to register here at Ron Paul Forums and is unable to.

It is BULLSHIT like this that makes it absolutely IMPERATIVE that WE take over the GOP and make the game fair again.

“What I tell people is: I’m not going to fire or discipline my staff for clerical errors,” Webster said Wednesday, acknowledging that mistakes were made.

Clerical errors? Does he keep his accountant if they make "clerical" errors?

Arguably the most important function of these people is to accurately tabulate voting results. If they can't do that, there isn't much point to hiring them.

Webster: "This is my chauffeur. He can't drive, but I still keep him around."

Correct. The reason heads are rolling is precisely because it is a caucus, and there's enough information to implicate any wrongdoing.

elitist asshole bs aisle 1:

Webster said he has been around long enough to weather criticism and calls for his resignation.

“If people were saying ‘he can’t raise money, he can’t raise candidates or he doesn’t speak for the party,’ then I’d consider it,” he said. “That’s not the case here.”

The state Republican party chairmen in Iowa and Nevada both stepped down in the wake of similar controversies in their states earlier this year. Iowa initially awarded its caucus win to Romney only to discover about two weeks later that former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum actually had won. Nevada’s caucuses, won handily by Romney, were plagued by allegations of voter fraud.
