Official Maine Caucus Results Thread

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Any word out of Lewiston et al?

[Verily]

Nada. Bangor's the only town of size with anything at all, and even it's not reporting much. Lewiston, Portland, Augusta, and Bath are all late caucuses.

Well, if things continue as they are we won't know who's won till they come in. When will that be , roughly?

Hillary has won Biddeford's delgates by a decent margin, 30-22.

No surprise there then

[Verily]

Not that surprising, IMO.

Most/all results should be in by 9-9:30 EST. Bath and a few smaller towns don't open until 6 PM, so they should all be done by 8.

It's all over for Obama, folks.

[Verily]

Standish gives Kucinich a delegate, too (9O-7C-1K). Lakes Region town, not too far outside of Portland.

[Verily]

The infamous Kennebunkport goes for Obama.

The infamous Kennebunkport goes for Obama.

No surprise there either

[Franzl]

would it be correct to assume that Obama will win big in Portland?

[Verily]

would it be correct to assume that Obama will win big in Portland?

Yes. To put it lightly.

[Gabu]

would it be correct to assume that Obama will win big in Portland?

Yes. To put it lightly.

If that's the case, and if Obama is already ahead, what would Clinton need to do in the intervening time to win?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Obama is slightly ahead and Portland isn't in. BAD news for Clinton...

[Flying Dog]

Hope to god that she won unbelievable margins in Northern Main and that tons of French turned out.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Do not ever assume crude urban/rural divisions in Maine of all places.

[Verily]

would it be correct to assume that Obama will win big in Portland?

Yes. To put it lightly.

If that's the case, and if Obama is already ahead, what would Clinton need to do in the intervening time to win?

Lewiston, Bath, other industrial towns. Francophone north. But it's beginning to look as if the numbers aren't there for her to win.

[Gabu]

But it's beginning to look as if the numbers aren't there for her to win.

Yes, which is why I asked.  Clinton normally leads in very early returns and then loses it to Obama as the bigger places come in; I don't think we've ever seen a situation where she was behind in early returns and then came from behind to win.

He was saying that that's what she needs to win, not that he hopes that happens.

[Verily]

FOX is now reporting that, with 41% in, Obama leads 57-42. No link yet, but that would imply that it's over.

ah... gotcha!

Do they say how much of that (if any) is Portland?

If Portland is still close to 0% reporting with those numbers, I'd say it's safe to call it an Obama landslide once again.

She does well with French-Americans that predominantly live in Northern Maine and along the Canadian border.

CNN confirms 57% - 42% with 44% in
