Why would Ron alterPaul do well in conservative areas, he is not a conservative.
Dude, just how many states did Newt not get on the ballot it??? Maine, Virginia, Missouri...?
Of course Paul could win Maine! Few states have a higher concentration of left wing, nut job, America hating hippie commies than Maine!
Why not? Someone wins the Powerball Lottery every week. : )
I spent almost a year in Maine (military)...Ron Paul can have it.
Hopefully Ron Paul will win Maine.
Newt will win the South (minus Floriduh!)
Santorum will win several states in the midwest: Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, Indiana...
... Mittens falls shy of the 1144 delegates needed to clinch the nomination.
We end up with a brokered convention...with a dark horse candidate emerging.
If he does, so what? I don’t see Maine as an indicator of anything except some possibly-eccentric voters.
In the scheme of things they don’t matter a whit.
Could Maine be any more irrelevant than my state of NH?
The better question is, "Will anybody care if he does?".
Ron Paul is like a crazy old uncle. Occasionally his antics are amusing, but most of the time you just ignore him and hope he goes away.
A must read for BOSTON area activists.
The super-duper caucus is 2/11 9am in Sanford ME near Rochester, NH and Portsmouth NH.

Be there if you’re for Santorum or Newt.
Call me. give me a ping.
gopsterinma, can you put a note on the MASS page about Sanford? Let’s defeat Romney.
Btw, regarding my post no. 29 - Our Gov. is the quintecential self-made man.
On the streets, (one of 11 kids) on his own at age 11 - yes ELEVEN - escaping an alcoholic abusive father - he had a rough haul but got his education - high school and college.
He worked his up from ground floor to manager of one of Maine’s biggest chain stores.
He was elected Mayor of Waterville, a top-heavy democrat town - and he got reelected.
He’s straight on conservative and doesn’t play kissy-face. He’s a straight shooter and no matter what side you’re on, you know where he stands..take it or leave it.
We love him.
Well, there's no arguing with THAT, is there now?
No matter what your opinion is of Ron Paul, the above is pretty much gonna be a true statement.
Neal Dow is spinning in his grave.
