Maine - Unofficial results

[AgAuGal]

Unfriggen believable

Romney -39%

Paul - 36%

Santorum - 12%

Gingrich - 6%


They said some counties were not counted in the total, they would be counted later???? Why?

They said this was unoffical and offical resultswould be out 2/13. GOP up to their dirty tricks again.

As far as I'm concerned the GOP can take it in the a$$ come November and Obama wil win again. I'm not voting for anyone but Ron Paul. The way the GOP has been running the caucuses and primaries no wonder they cant get anything right. They think Rubio, Cristie are options, knuckelheads.

Thank yo Ron Paul and your familiy and supporters for your sacrifice to try and wake up the dead in America!

[AgAuGal]

here is a Google spreadsheet of the votes - what a surprise Ron is leading by a large margin with probably half the vote counted but somehow by announcement time the GOP says this caucus is not that important but Romney won.

Sooooo close, yet soooooo far.

I heard on the radio (not sure which MSM network, but it was one of the biggies, they said that the polls will remain open for possibly another week because of heavy snow in some counties.

I haven't seen confirmation of this on the 'net.

Yeah, another week to fudge the friggin' results.

[dacrunch]

need over 200 more votes for Paul than Romney out of the 16% (98) of polling places remaining to report...

What we don't see is the "county by county" or the "population density" of what's been and what remains to be reported...

Guess I should be somewhat happy that Ron did so well in Maine, big improvement over 2008 but really wanted him to have this one as a win. Maybe the GOP will have to eat crow 2/13 once official results announced. Capture numbers folks so we can make sure they dont try to fudge the numbers.

The Maine GOP was apparently scared and supposedly had planned to make some changes atthe last minute in an effort to keep Ron from winning Maine. If anyone in Maine has a first hand story of how their caucus went please share.

votes My brother, a delegate chair, met with the Secretary of the Caucus of his town. This was a few days ago.

The Secretary and my brother talked about delegate information for about 15 minutes. As they were talking, a gentleman walked in, pulled up a chair, and sat down.

The Secretary introduced the man to my brother. My brother recognized the man....he holds a high office in the GOP in my brother's county.

After some small chit chat....this is the conversation that took place......keep in mind....neither the Secretary nor the GOP official knew that my brother was a Paul supporter.......

GOP Official: So, you're the guy who's going to be collecting delegates huh?

Brother: That's Right.

GOP Official: You know they're really worried about the state convention.

Brother: What do you mean?

GOP Official: You know, that they're going to hijack this thing.

Brother: What do you mean hijack? What are you talking about?

GOP Official: You know, the Ron Paul People. They're going to hijack the convention.

Brother: Really?

GOP Official. Yea...We're very concerned. They can hijack the state convention, and win the whole thing.

Brother: Wow...Really? You're that concerned huh?

GOP Official: Oh yeah. They have me setting up other caucuses in the smaller towns to get the delegates.

Brother: Is that possible? The deadline is February 11th.
They're going to announce the tally.

GOP Official: It has nothing to do with the straw poll. We're not going to add them to the tally, its about getting delegates. You know, it has nothing to do with the straw polls right? It's all about the delegates. You know, I've been to all the Caucuses in the county and Ron Paul dominated them all....hands down.

Brother: Even the other caucus...in the next town over?

GOP Official: Yeah...I went to all of them. I talked to the Councilman. I know Ron Paul won the entire county.

Brother: Wow.

(then there was some more idle chit chat)

GOP Official: We need to do this to prevent the Paul supporters from hijacking the state convention. You know, they're going to increase security.

Brother: What are you expecting? You think they're going to riot?

GOP Official: No, not concerned about that. It's just that, you know, that Ron Paul people are very vocal.

Brother: I don't get it then...why the security? As long as they're being respectful, isn't it good to engage in dialogue?

GOP Official: Well, it's just they can be very vocal.

(GOP official then started talking about bylaws at the convention...but he kind of trailed off...and didn't finish his thoughts.)

The GOP official then started asking my brother personal questions.

GOP Official: Jim, I remember you from the Caucus.

Brother: Yeah...I remember you too.

The GOP official then looked out the window and saw my brother's car.

GOP Official: Jim, is that your car? The grey one? The one with the Ron Paul sticker?

Brother: Yes it is!

GOP Official: Wait, are you telling me that you are a Ron Paul supporter?

Brother: Yes I am!

The GOP Official then looked at the Secretary. They stared at each other for a few seconds. And then he looked down at the floor. Then there was silence...for about a minute.

The GOP Official then looked at my brother and said...

" You know, I don't have anything against Ron Paul or anything. It's just that his supporters, you know....

My brother then defended Paul supporters by saying that they are respectful, civil and totally engaged in the process. And that's what you want.

GOP Official...Well, its his views on the drug laws....

Brother: The war on drugs...the way it's set up...is not working. I have kids who can score drugs right around the block in this town. Why are you afraid to look at another philosophy?

The GOP official did not answer the question.

My brother then received a text from his wife...who was not feeling well. He told then GOP official and the Secretary that he had to leave. He wished them both a good day...and left.

[AgAuGal]

are they gonna update that list eventually with the other counties?

Maybe they did not like what they saw and decided to stop updaing. Hope I'm wrong cause it would be a nice sorce of numbers for posterity

How can the Maine GOP just arbitrarily decide to not count some votes?

And this tells the tale,,,
Submitted by Duckmastor2 on Sat, 02/11/2012 - 19:11.
We probably won, but will NEVER know,,

"Webster said any caucus results that come in after Saturday wouldn't be counted no matter how close the vote turned out to be.

Maine's caucuses began February 4 and continued throughout the week. But the results announced Saturday accounted for just 83 percent of all precincts in the state. Several communities elected to hold their caucuses at a later date.

Caucuses in Washington County scheduled Saturday were postponed until February 18 because of a major snowstorm that blanketed the region. Earlier, the state party's Executive Director Michael Quatrano said county officials were told the results would not count toward the total."

that the GOP will stomp on Ron Paul every chance they get. They do not want this guy, and they can play by whatever rules they devise. Have you ever checked out the complicated process of becoming a delegate? My hat's off to those who figure it out, The rules are so full of confusing jargon so that they can simply change the interpretation anytime it's convenient. The goal is to NOT allow a Ron Paul success. All day, Ron was leading...then pooof, at the magic GOP announcement, ohhhhh, he pulls a real tight SECOND..........right behind Mitt. Wow. Get ready to bolt from the GOP at the right time, or be prepared to see our man hammered over and over. Delegates???? You don't think they can change THAT game if they need/want to?

EVERYONE PLEASE LISTEN UP!!! All the delegate numbers you see are total BULLSHlT!! Most of the caucus states won't have official state delegates to the national convention for several more months! and WE will have most of them!! See Doug Wead's interview w/ Rachel Maddow for details.

I GURAN-DAMN-TEE that we got more delegates in Maine then the other three clowns put together!! GURAN-DAMN-TEE it!!!

BOOM!!!!

[AgAuGal]

look at the Google results posted by dacrunch above and then tell me what the blazes is the GOP up to when the following was posted on Google 021012, the day before the Maine caucus completed - the numbers are not even close. Again I ask, why did they decide to exclude a number of caucus sites, how do they decide they are not going to count???

[AgAuGal]

And yes I know its all about delegates but unfortunately the population has been dumbed down (they dont even know they have gotten dumber especially regarding politics and history) but until the majority wakes up it is about managing perception. It appears those in charge want the perception that Ron Paul is not electable, see the 'unoffical results', king Romney wins, cue big cheer from Maine GOP headquarters. I dont think it would be good to get to the convention in Tampa and then America finds out Ron Paul won majority of the delegates, I see as much uproar over that as we get upset by the current MOPE.


Jim DeMint is on CSPAN right now, he should be Ron Paul's VP....or at least a candidate

that is a good point, why is Google not breaking down each county as they did with the previous states??? Is it that the results are not 'official' yet?

[AgAuGal]

large county not counted yet (Washington), wonder if this is the county that the GOP chair was refering to when he said not all would be counted. This county is known to be strong Ron Paul supporters, possibly 200 votes, that alone would push Ron into the 'winners' circle in Maine.

http://www.ronpaul2012.com/2012/02/11/big-win-for-ron-paul-in-maine/co

Big Win For Ron Paul in Maine

With 95% reporting, Ron Paul has over 36% of the vote in Maine right behind first place finisher Mitt Romney, who has barely 39%.

But when all the votes are counted will Romney still be in first place? Only 194 votes stand between Paul and a first place victory. Washington County is a stronghold for Paul and has yet to report. It might be a week before we know the final outcome there and Washington County is expected to yield 200 votes or more.

Still, Maine is a state in Romney’s backyard that he should’ve been able to walk away with easily. That Mitt almost lost to Ron tonight–and that Mitt still may lose to Ron in the days to come–does not bode well for the establishment candidate. Romney shouldn’t have had to campaign in Maine and yet circumstances forced him to make a last ditch effort.

Santorum, riding high on Tuesday, was 20 points behind Paul tonight. Newt Gingrich, who won South Carolina with 41% last month, got only 6% tonight.

This was not a good night for Mitt Romney. It was a fantastic night for Ron Paul.

Ron Paul Victory in Maine!

“We are confident we will control the Maine delegation for the convention in August”
FALMOUTH, Maine – 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul has scored a strong finish in the Maine presidential caucuses. Paul gained over 36 percent of the vote in the ‘Pine Tree’ state, being barely nudged out by eventual winner Gov. Mitt Romney who pulled in a little over 38 percent.

Paul performed well throughout the state, although his campaign’s stronghold of Washington County did not report today for inexplicable reasons. Congressman Paul was barely bested by Gov. Romney by about 194 votes, a margin the campaign is confident it will make up with the 200 plus votes expected to come out of Washington County’s caucus.

“Today’s results show once again that Congressman Paul’s campaign for liberty and a return to Constitutional principles is strong and growing,” said Ron Paul 2012 National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton. “We are confident that we will control the Maine delegation for the convention in August. Our campaign is so thankful to all of our supporters in Maine, and all over the nation, and we want them to know that we plan to take this message all the way to the White House.”

votes LAKE JACKSON, Texas (BUSINESS WIRE) – Tonight the campaign of 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul sent an email to supporters regarding today’s caucus results from the state of Maine. See below for a portion of comments from Ron Paul 2012 Campaign Manager John Tate.

“Ron Paul will win the most delegates out of Maine tonight.

“In fact, he will probably even win the ‘beauty contest’ straw poll the media has already called for Mitt Romney – even before all the votes have been tallied.

“In Washington County – where Ron Paul was incredibly strong – the caucus was delayed until next week just so the votes wouldn’t be reported by the national media today.

“Of course, their excuse for the delay was ‘snow.’

“That’s right. A prediction of 3-4 inches – that turned into nothing more than a dusting -was enough for a local GOP official to postpone the caucuses just so the results wouldn’t be reported tonight.

“This is MAINE we’re talking about. The GIRL SCOUTS had an event today in Washington County that wasn’t cancelled!

“And just the votes of Washington County would have been enough to put us over the top.

“This is an outrage. But our campaign is in this race to win, and will stay in it to the very end.

“Congressman Paul’s message of liberty and Constitutional principles is resonating with Americans everywhere who are sick and tired of the status quo establishment, and we plan to take this campaign on to ‘Super Tuesday’ and beyond.”

How can anyone say the media is not BIAS?
This is completely unacceptable and too many people are just going to go on and ignore it is happening.
This country would make the former "Soviet Union" proud of the way we have rigged elections, and pulling the wool over people's eyes. Too many sheeple in this country.
All they see is "gotta get Iran" BS.
This also happened soon after "Judge Napo" was let go.

[AgAuGal]

Those in Washington County Maine that are Ron Paul supporters, get out there this week and caucus/vote. Show the Maine GOP such large numbers for Ron that it can't be ignored. Don't let them steal the relevancy of Maine (Ron Paul's first state popular win). I know it is about delegates, but it is now more than that, it is to send a message to your fellow citizens who are on the fence and need to see what is going on in front of their eyes.

Surely there are 300-500 people in Washington County (the GOP is discounting that 200 Ron Paul votes will mean nothing) that can show the rest of the nation what is going on. The fact that WASHINGTON county is front and center on this issue is fitting. Reminds me of our first president rallying the troops in the face of great odds. I wonder how our republic would have faired if they had all given up in the face of such great odds. This is the time to stand up for what is right, to stand up against the status quo of corruption and lies and fight for our country and for each other again. To standup for a man (Ron Paul) who is giving his all to this message and process. Most of us would not be able to keep up the pace this process demands, but at 76 he is putting himself out there for his country, in face of so much against him. He cant do this alone, we have to stop giving lip service to what is wrong in this country and start taking action. :boxing:

However, Washington and a few others places WILL caucus. So, after we make up the small 194 vote distance we have behind Romney, IT IS OUR JOB TO PROMOTE OUR WIN IN MAINE!!! NO ONE IS TAKING THIS WIN AWAY FROM US!!

I am not going to let the GOP or whoever else is pulling these strings to take this away from Ron after he has given 30 years of his life fighting for THE SAME values. NO!!! We will win MAINE. Mark my words, this is not over! They are so afraid of us it is almost comical. The only thing keeping me from laughing is my anger. They will regret messing with us one way or the other. Either we win, or the GOP will lose. We have the power in our hands. I swear we will not let whoever the GOP chooses win this. We have came way too far to lose in this handicapped fight. If they want to cheat, it will be at their own peril.

We will stay on top of this and It also would be a good idea to reach out to the people that are getting screwed worse then RP is and that is the people of these counties. It is the people of Maine who also have just had their eyes opened to how far the tentacles of corruption reach. Some of them have just realized the hard way that the party that is suppose to represent them just admitted that all are not created equal and that their voice has no value. So now it is the job of the patriots of this country to stand and make sure that every American citizen has an equal voice. Also be sure to point out the fact that no other campaigns out there are fighting for their constituents who just got screwed. Looks like there are a few more names to add to the list of traitors that have sold principle for profit..

On one hand, I feel like if the GOP gave RP a fair shake, the campaign and its supporters would not be sour and vindictive. However, there is absolutely no way the GOP will let RP win anything. The GOP won't play fair because they are too corrupt and they truly fear RP. Either way, we are the kingmakers in this election. The more the GOP fights RP, the more we will fight them back

In other thoughts: Where are the law enforcement officials and journalists to investigate this massive election fraud? They are evidently all in it for the payoffs and favors. Great ethics we have with us these days. This is exactly why they don't want Paul and people who think like him anywhere near positions of authority.

The state GOP has already gone on record that they don't intend to count those votes, nor the absentee ballots either. How do we win if they refuse to count the votes? I understand we will get the delegates, but if they don't count the votes from the remaining caucuses then RP is not going to win the straw poll even if those votes are there.

Apparently there is a rumor going around that even though the caucus's will be held on the 18th that they will still not count?

If that is true that is the most pathetic and childish thing the GOP has done to us yet. They take the county ron paul is gonna do the best in, and say it doesn't count. Seriously that is what a 5 year old would do.

If this rumor is true and the Paul camp does NOTHING about, I will be really disappointed. There has to be something they can do. they could at least publicly state how completely ridiculous it is that a county is not going to count.


Consider, Then Press On!
Submitted by robbjerk on Sun, 02/12/2012 - 01:43.
Don't let up on any remaining Maine caucuses! The votes may not "officially" count, but the delegates will! Don't abandon remaining caucuses for Party operatives to claim and appoint delegates. PRESERVE and EXTEND our delegate lead in ANY remaining Maine caucuses! Be alert for little-publicized late caucuses they may try to sneak under the radar. Isn't it true that the caucus chair can appoint any unfilled delegate spots? Fight to the end in Maine for the victory in delegates and a moral victory in total votes we can promote against party dirty tricks.

Then, REMEMBER HOW FAR WE HAVE COME! We are down to the Final Four and still in the game, against all odds! There is another four-man CNN debate coming up soon (22nd?). Gingrich is now on the ropes. He is probably looking for another debate boost, but Dr. Paul is now one of four and hard to ignore with only four, even if they try.

Ignore media clamor for a first win and go all out in monetary and activism support in the coming little break before the next debate. Many people are aware of corruption in the process. Just speak up positively for Dr. Paul. Let people know they still have a choice. If you can, get together with other local supporters and pass out Super Brochures to your neighborhood or precinct NOW. Don't wait until just before your primary when everyone is watching media propoganda. Get it to them now when they will take time to read it and have time to get excited about Dr. Paul and tell their friends.

Don't let the establishment wear us down. We need to be strong and wear them down.

what I did

What I did was give her the right numbers, and then called the Vice-Chairperson of my caucus to let her know what happened. The person at the Maine GOP office didn't sound really interested in what I had to say until I told her that we publicly counted the ballots in our caucus, then her ears perked up.

Guess the GOP figured out a way to disenfranchise Maine voters. I did not think the GOP could be more corrupt than what happened in Iowa, Nevada but they keep exceeding my expectations. The GOP had the audacity to cancel the Washington caucus then tell those voters they can caucus 2/18 but their votes dont count. Other efforts to minimize Ron Paul's win....Reality Check

Another Mitt Romney win could be undone in Maine caucuses
By Michael A. Memoli | Chicago Tribune
February 16, 2012

Mitt Romney has already had a caucus victory in Iowa undone. Could his win in Maine be next?

On Saturday, the Maine Republican Party released the results of a presidential preference straw poll that had been conducted over several weeks at municipal caucuses. The party declared Romney the winner by 194 votes over Ron Paul.

The result was immediately called into question by supporters of the Texas congressman, and for good reason -- not all the votes were counted. The tally was made public even though most towns in Washington County had yet to caucus -- their meetings were postponed because of snow -- and will instead be held this weekend.

Furthermore, the results published by the Maine GOP had no votes recorded from another 200 cities and towns...

Can you say viral?? These 2 papers are as mainstream as it gets. Many newspapers are in decline but these 2 are near the top of the shrinking pile.

GOP is now expecting 300-350 people to caucus 2/18 in Maine. I hope the good people of Maine blow the GOP expectations such that the blowback is heard round the country, no longer able to ignore Ron Paul. Ron is doing his job, now we have to do our part and stand up and be counted. Tell the establishment we are not going to take their status quo anymore. We want real change, not lip service.

I expect Ron Paul to win his first popular vote in Maine - which is what many of us expected.

I know it is the delegates that count but in this society where managing perception moves the crowds having a popular win declared by the talking heads on tv will help those who are still timid about Ron Paul's popularity and electability. This is getting interesting, wonder how many mainstream stations will make this headline news - guess we will find out Saturday night.

Tinbox - looks like they will finally fill in all those '0' votes we were wondering about last weekend.
