GOP front-runner Mitt Romney won Maine's Republican presidential caucuses with 39 percent of the vote, breaking a three-state losing streak by besting libertarian-leaning Ron Paul, who finished a close second with 36 percent.Read the rest here.
Romney had 2,190 total votes, while Paul got 1,996. Rick Santorum finished third with 18 percent (989 votes). Newt Gingrich was fourth with 6 percent (349 votes).
It was close, but we didn't quite get there.
Very interesting that he ONLY won by 3 pts., in a state that borders New Hampshire and Massachusetts?...If it were a Victory and not a squeak by, it should have been a larger win...?

I am somewhat surprised Paul did as well as he did in Maine, of all places. I suppose, giving the other contenders at this point, he was the only other viable non-Romney candidate.
ReplyDeleteJohn, looks like there might have been some shenanigans going on in Maine. Precincts closed because of 3-4 inches of snow, etc. Look for this one to play out for a few more days.
