The Maine Caucus To Pick Who’s Unpledged

Maine’s Republicans are voting today. And tomorrow and Sunday. They’re caucusing up there.

Only Republicans and previously unregistered can vote:

Any registered voter enrolled in the Republican Party may participate in the town in which they are registered.

If you are new to town and haven’t registered to vote or if you’re registering to vote for the very first time, you may do so 30 minutes before the caucus at the location of the caucus.

If you are registered to vote but not enrolled in ANY party (you are listed as “Unenrolled” on our towns voter list), you can enroll as Republican 30 minutes before the caucus at the location of the caucus.

If you are enrolled as a Democrat or Green Independent and you wish to participate in the Republican Caucus, you CANNOT switch parties at the caucus; you must change your enrollment at least 15 days prior to the caucus at your town office.

As usual, because it’s a caucus, there are bizarre rules. Among them, apparently all of Maine’s delegates are supposed to be unpledged, no matter what happens:

6 district delegates are elected by caucus participants from each of Maine’s 2 Congressional districts. These delegates will attend the Republican National Convention officially “Unpledged”. [The Rules of the Maine Republican Party as Adopted at Convention on May 5, 2006. Rule 32-A.]
CD 1: 3
CD 2: 3
12 delegates are elected by the Maine State Convention as a whole. These delegates will attend the Republican National Convention officially “Unpledged”.
3 party leaders, the National Committeeman, the National Committeewoman, and the chairman of the Maine’s Republican Party, will attend the convention as unpledged delegates by virtue of their position.

Having said that, there’s unpledged, and then there’s “unpledged.” Those delegates have to vote for somebody when they get to the Republican National Convention.

From Rush today:

RUSH: ...I think the one candidate of the three still out there on our side matter (and actually it's just two, because Huckabee doesn't, in terms of a chance to win) in saying who more closely embodies all three legs of this conservative stool, you'd have to say that it's Mitt Romney. There's actually no choice in the matter. It certainly isn't Senator McCain.



One Candidate Now Stands For All Three Legs of Conservatism

What does Maine have? One delegate?
