What? No mysterious truck driving around Maine with caucus results. :-)

It appears Ron Paul got the same treatement Santorum got in Iowa.

Romney needs better flying monkeys. This is the second state his minions messed up.

Regardless of the eventual outcome, it looks like they quit counting votes when they got the winner they wanted—Romney.

I thought Iowa was a fluke, but now that it’s happened a second time, it looks like there is a deliberate vote fraud going on to by the GOP establishment to help Romney.

Really, how else do you explain a state not even counting all of the votes in an election?

How can they declare a winner without counting all the votes? Eventually all the votes have to be counted or it’s blatent voter fraud. This is pure GOP establishment pulling out third world tricks to get Romney elected against the will of the people.

The Maine GOP establishment should be arrested for this fraud.

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

He probably will, those counties were supposed to be his strongest.

“It appears Ron Paul got the same treatement Santorum got in Iowa.”

Yes, that’s true, but this process is exposing the slimy underbelly of the GOP. That the party “leaders” have decided who they want the candidate to be and are working at warp speed to make that happen irrespective of what registered Republican Party members think or want. So how is this much different than the RAT party? The only good I see coming from this is that it has been clearly exposed to most Republicans, but it remains to be seen if they will decide to do anything about it. Maybe after the country goes bust, they will want to take a look! And we cluck about how stupid the average RAT is. We need to look in the mirror.

This might be why some of the GOP-e seems more comfortable with the Democrats than the Tea Party Republicans.

From my perspective, they’re both losers.

Wait, what?

See, saved y’all from the trouble of counting the rest of those nasty votes.

We're also going to try to replace some of our older servers and failing equipment this year so we're going to add a little extra to our FReepathon goals. John is estimating ten to fifteen thousand to do this and I'd like to get it all in place and working before the election cycle is fully heated up, so we'll try to bring in a little more now if we can and the rest next quarter.

Looks like Texas might not even hold a primary, we might have state party RINO’s choose our delegates

They should certainly count all the caucuses which took place in the correct time period.

The should certainly not count caucuses which are happening after the election is over.

I am ambivilant about the caucus that had to be canceled because of weather. In any real election, stuff happens, and they don’t let us come back a week later to vote because of weather. On the other hand, we have had polls kept open an hour or two for weather or other reasons. On the third hand, that almost always happens because liberal complain and get special treatment.

But it would be absurd to take an election that is done, and have a new caucus now when only one candidate is crazy enough to still be fighting for the results, and count them as if they were the same as all the votes from people who came out in the bad weather of the week and voted for their candidates.

Of course, all of this is for a non-binding preference poll. I really am getting to hate caucuses, at least they way they are run — they make a mockery of the right to vote, and nobody seems to be able to run them without it looking like corruption is rampant.

Dang RINOs cheat just like their buds on the Left. RINO Romney can’t win a primary w/o cheating. Let’s blame it on Ron Paul.

I thought Republicans were hunted to extinction in that state decades ago. Learn something new everyday
