Maine Republican Caucuses Under Way
Quote:
|
Maine is holding their Republican caucas today and Romney is holding a huge lead of 59% with McCain only holding 19%.
|
I forgot about this, did not hear much about Maine caucus from any news media,  for letting us know.
Quote:
AUGUSTA, Maine -- Republicans in nearly two dozen Maine communities are scheduled to hold their caucuses starting Friday evening, kicking off a weekend of party presidential preference votes across the state.
Most of the caucuses set for Friday night are in Aroostook County. Party Chairman Mark Ellis said the bulk of the 410 municipalities where caucuses are scheduled are holding theirs on Saturday, and a handful will be Sunday and after.

Maine Republicans pack caucuses
Maine Republicans pack caucuses
By GLENN ADAMS, Associated Press Writer
AUGUSTA, Maine - Mitt Romney took an early lead in presidential preference voting by Maine Republicans as the first returns were counted Saturday from the party's municipal caucuses, which GOP officials said were heavily attended across the state.
Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, had 59 percent of the vote with 3 percent of the towns holding caucuses reporting. Ron Paul trailed with 19 percent, John McCain had 18 percent, and Mike Huckabee and undecided votes each had about 2 percent.
The nonbinding votes, the first step toward electing 18 Maine delegates to the Republican National Convention, were taking place in public schools, Grange halls, fire stations and town halls across the state.

Re: Maine Republican Caucuses Under Way
John McCain hasn't visited Maine, so hopefully this will become an advantage to Romney.

Re: Maine Republican Caucuses Under Way
Too bad FOX and CNN won't lead with the results....I am hearing that the Romney folk are getting 2 to one over McCain in the latest numbers. The Maine GOP site should have the results beginning at 7PM EST
