Yesterday, the Maine Republican Party declared Mitt Romney the winner of Maine's caucuses, which were conducted over multiple days. Romney got 39% (2,190 votes) and Ron Paul got 36% (1,996). Rick Santorum finished third and Newt Gingrich fourth.

Yet in a message to supporters last night, the Ron Paul campaign suggested at chicanery over Maine's decision to declare Mitt Romney the winner before all the votes were counted.

Campaign Manager John Tate called the Washington County GOP decision to postpone the caucus for snow an "excuse." Tate even mocked the decision after the predicted three to four inches of snow resulted in only a "dusting."

"This is MAINE we're talking about. The GIRL SCOUTS had an event today in Washington County that wasn't cancelled."

Now I know why you still defend that crackpot. Facts must not exist in the Ron Paul world. I suppose when his world includes the conspiracy theory foilhats, facts cannot exist. But they do exist in the real world and they are stubborn things.
