Romney Wins Maine Caucus
Mitt Romney who won the CPAC 2012 / Washington Times straw poll also won the Republican presidential caucuses in Maine with 39% of the votes in the Caucus presidential non-binding poll. Paul had 36%, Rick Santorum 18% , and New Gingrich 6%.
While Maine offers a small population and Caucus with only 5,600 votes, they see their importance in National politics based on the old bell weather saw: "As Maine goes, so goes the Nation." Main has 24 delegates and will hold its Convention May 5-6, 2012. However, based on guidelines for delegates, Romney has 8, Paul has 8, Santorum 4, Newt 1 and 3 yet to be determined.
Romney said in a statement that Maine voters “sent a clear message that it is past time to send an outsider to the White House, a conservative with a lifetime of experience in the private sector, who can uproot Washington’s culture of taxing and spending and borrowing and endless bureaucracy.”

Looks like the MSM and DC insiders have convinced enough of the lemmings he is the pick of the year. Sad to see this because I firmly believe it means four more for Obama.
Sandra: Interesting opinion. How do you address the results of CPAC where the most right leaning conservative attended. Their polling results showed the same trend with Santorum in2nd and Paul 3rd. Are you saying these conservative activists are wrong. I noted that there was only one statement by Sarah Palin today for which ALL of the people stood and supported and that was the statement that once the candidate is determined in Aug in Tampa, we must all get behind that candidate and defeat Barack Obama.
