Agreed with 100% of your post. Spot on IMHO. Count all of the ones who voted properly...do not count the ones who do not.

They all knew what day it was and they all know they are living in Maine in February.

The state has the right to establish how they elect their delegates I suppose...but I too much prefer a straight up primary as opposed to a caucus.

Can’t stand Paul, but the winner needs to be he who gets the votes.

The attempt to “fix” this for Romney is disgusting and non-American.

Better keep a close eye on Michigan since our attorney General is running the Romney campaign here.

Santorum will win big in the burbs but mittens will win Detroit by whatever number is required, even if it exceeds the entire population number for the city.

We have a top notch secretary of state who is a fraud fighter no matter what party it is.

FYI
In addition to the missing votes from Waldo and Waterville ... the situation in Washington County:

THe Romney-supporting chairman postponed the caucuses, although he says the party told him that the votes would still be counted on 2/18 (they lied to him).

It never did snow. But no votes were cast in that entire county. It is a rural area, on the New Brunswick border. About 2% of the state population is in that county.

The city of Waterville is 1% of the state. Waldo County is about 3%. I saw mild forms of cheating in Piscatiquis County by the caucus chairman. I thought he was a Romneyite, but he turned out the be a Santorum guy.

Isn’t it amazing how the clerical “errors” always seem to favor the left-most candidates? Always.

Wait 'til you see the Virginia Primary turnout.

If I lived in Virginia, I would vote for Ru Paul just to prevent Romney from winning since only 2 candidates were able to get on the ballot.

It goes deeper than that, Romneys Mormon menions are keeping people off the ballot in several states. Romney is trying to steal the nomination

That's probably what I will do.

In any real election, stuff happens, and they don’t let us come back a week later to vote because of weather.

Don't some states allow for early voting over a series of days like FL? It isn't so much the way states vote but what the outcome is. Playing games in IA and ME to boost the beltway favorite is crooked pool.

With no more than about 6000 participants statewide, how can they not have this sorted out? Iowa was as bad.

It's despicable and unacceptable.

FYI, Newt on Greta now. The program usually re-airs in 3 hours.

BTW, add me to your Newt ping list. Thanks!
