Maine results thread.

[RI]

Androscoggin totals now listed as complete. No change.

[RI]

An update from Cumberland County and York County (with Paul currently up there) puts Santorum at 20% statewide.

[Ⓐnarchy in the ☭☭☭P!]

The spreadsheet has more updated numbers from Androscoggin with Santorum beating Mitt (Should be Rick's best county).

Paul 262 (41.2%)
Santorum 188 (29.6%)
Romney 173 (27.2%)
Gingrich 13 (2.0%)

Yeah, go Santorum!

[Eraserhead]

If Romney came in third, that would just be magical.

Paul now a more than 2:1 favorite to win on Intrade

tell that to Colorado

If that happens, will Politico tell us that Ron Paul is destroying America and that we should support the great Mitt Romney, but that Gingrich and Santorum are the only principled candidates running against Romney?

[Beet]

Paul is now a 3-to-1 favorite on Intrade

[Lief 🗽]

GUYS CALM DOWN.

Let's not psyche ourselves up and get heartbroken. Luckily the Maine GOP was basically taken over by Teabaggers/Paultards last year, so if there's any cheating go on it should be in Paul's favor, for once.

Paul is now a 4-to-1 favorite on Intrade

So are the results just going to come all at once in one big dump? Pretty anti-climactic but I guess preferable to the Nevada mess.

Everything except Washington County will come in at once, where the caucuses were pushed back a week due to snow. If it's close, we might not know the winner until next week.

F**k that, it better not be that close.

And somehow I have this instinct that Washington County is Mittens country. It's bucolic, incredibly scenic, probably relatively high income, and well salted with old line Yankees. But it's a caucus so ...

And it's a week later, so the game may be a bit different by then to boot.

McCain won there last time. It was his only county win in Maine. Romney didn't do too well, but Paul did really poorly.

Yes, but now Mittens is the "moderate" candidate remember, while he wasn't against McCain. So to a fair degree now McCain = Mittens.

[Averroës Nix]

It would have to be very close. 113 votes cast in Washington county last time, 2% of the total.

Drudge says we are getting the results at 6:30 ET, is that accurate?

Hopefully, Romney comes a distant 2nd, or even 3rd

[Beet]

I don't really understand the Romney-hatred. Back in the Bush days, Democrats were always lamenting the lack of moderate Republicans. Romney is no moderate, but at least he is about as close as we can get in these days.

[Alcon]

I think it's pretty clear that people's objections to Romney aren't political so much as personal.

[You kip if you want to...]

What makes him a moderate? He's not exactly Chafee or Hagel.
