Ron Paul Second in Maine State Delegates with 35%

Romney has 52% of the vote while Paul has secured 35% of the state delegates who will allocate Maine's 18 national delegates in May.

(Conservative Libertarian)

The final State Caucus before Super Tuesday is projected to be won by Governor Mitt Romney based on 74% of the presidential preference poll votes in Mitt Romney has 52%. There's a battle for second place, in popular votes, going on between Ron Paul and John McCain. As of 4:34est the Maine Republican Party website showed there were just 154 votes separating the two with over 25% of the caucus locations still to report in.

According to a press release by Jesse Benton, of the Ron Paul campaign, the Texas Congressman, with his message of liberty and freedom, has already picked up 215 of the total 608 Maine state delegates. This number could increase as results come in from the final 6 counties. 35% of the state delegates place him second behind Mitt Romney even though McCain has a slight lead in the popular vote. There is no way for John McCain to catch Ron Paul in state delegate count even if he holds on to his slim lead in polling simply based on cities and caucus locations already won by Ron Paul

Although many major newspapers are giving all 18 Maine National Delegates to Mitt Romney that is not the case. State delegates in Maine are non-binding. The actual allocation of the 18 national delegates will not be determined until May 2 when the Maine Republican Party State Convention is going to be held and the state delegates will then decide.

"Ron Paul's strong second place finish in Maine, in which he beat John McCain, is proof that this race is far from over," said Ron Paul campaign manager Lew Moore. "We'll continue to battle for every delegate in this wide-open race for the Republican nomination."

Thanks for the update. The kansas method of securing delegates is going to be quite scientific this year. They are going to heard everyone like cattle into appropriate corrals, while the delegates schpeal. From what I understand, you can change corrals if you want, if you are swayed by a delegate, and at the end (I'm sure R. Paul delegate will get at least 20 seconds to speak) they count the total people standing infront of the delegates and award the vote to him or her. Brilliant!
