in reply to your comment about Maine delegates, based on my on the ground observations, I would say that of the 3700 or so delegates selected (maybe fewer) at the caucuses:

Paul 53%
Romney 35%
RS and NG 12%

RS folks were very indifferent to the delegate game and RP folks were more aggressive than the MITTsters. If they are using the old rules of ‘08 with majority take all at the May 5th convention ... I would project RP for 20 of the 21 delegates, losing one of the CD1 delegates to MITT. I do not know if the rules were changed to make the convention allocation proportional.

Obviously, the straw poll was meaningless garbage, as it did not translate directly into precinct delegates. Someone would have a tough time polling the delegates accurately between now and the convention. A lotta work for the campaigns to attempt.
