“Maine GOP chairman says Mitt Romney wins caucuses”
He can hold his head up high as he returns to the bath house.

If anything, Mitt underperformed. Maine is hardly an hour’s drive from Massachusetts.
Gingrich would perform spectacularly badly in the northeast, and Santorum not much better. That means that ALL of the state legislators and U.S. reps would fear a non-Romney candidacy for fear of how it would effect them. Winning the presidency is secondary, and losing bodies in the south and heartland doesn’t even enter into the calculus.

Little slide? Try big slide. Anyway, nobody cares what Maine thinks.
To: Kenny
Neither Santorum or Gingrich campaigned there.

I’m not sure why so many states have these unofficial contests. They’re probably a fair indicator of which way the official vote will go but they seem kind of pointless aside from that.

Non-bonding presidential preference. Only 5,000 people voting, and no direct delegates.
To: BAW
Gingrich at only 6%. What a total collapse. Amazing.
To: Dr. Sivana
Hello, McFly, anybody home?
The below map shows how we did in the northeast in 2004. We don't pick our presidential candidates based on how they will perform in the northeast or on the west coast. If Republicans are winning in those states, it must be because they have unique RINO appeal to those constituencies even when they don't like the president. So we could expect the same thing to happen here, they would show up to vote against the conservative Republican president but will still vote for their local RINOs.

“Maine House Speaker Robert Nutting said shortly after the announcement. Romney is the best candidate to beat President Obama in the fall.
Wow. Nothing like being a pre-programmed Romneybot. Thought? Thinking? Principles? BAH. Who needs that. Romney has nice hair and looks safe (if you don’t look too closely).

Beautiful state, but filled with crazy people. Maine is much like Minnesota where I live. I’ll trade Al Franken for Oly Snowe.
To: cripplecreek
The electoral math, so far, still shows Santorum doing way better than Gingrich.
Seven reasons for Rick Santorum
- Who has won the most states without the benefit of their own money, last election's organization or a billionaire casino sugar daddy?
- Who is everybody's second choice when he isn't their first?
- Who can get both the Romney people and the Gingrich people, who hate each other, to vote for him?
- Who has the best record on immigration?
- Who has the best plan for repealing ObamaCare? And is the only GOP candidate who didn't help write or approve legislation which helped spawn this fiasco?
- Who has the best plan for expanding the American economy and strengthening American families?
- Who is the closest thing we have to the "generic Republican" which polls show consistently beating Obama and is most likely to make the election about Obama's sorry record rather than about himself?

I've visited Maine. I expected nothing else. It's a very confused state.

Oh for 7. Like Rick, your analysis is shallow and unvetted.
