Will Maine say 'ayuh' to Ron Paul?


Maine announces the winner of its rather lengthy precinct caucus process today.

This could be Ron Paul's best shot at avoiding a shutout in this year's GOP primaries and caucuses.

If so, as Maine goes, "NO!" goes the nation.

HT: Drudge

ADDENDUM: Final result: Romney 39.2%, Paul 35.7%,  Santorum 17.7%, Gingrich 6.2%, Other 1.1%

The Paul people- who, living as they do on another planet, are so adept at coming up with bizarre conspiracy theories to explain their defeats- apparently think that Romney arranged a snow storm that resulted in the cancellation of the caucuses in a pro-Paul county.

Paul is claiming a "virtual tie" with Romney in Maine- which might be worth noticing if it weren't for the fact that Crazy Ron still has yet to win a primary or caucus. Not even one.

For a real candidate, as opposed to a protest candidate like Paul, such a record would dry up campaign finances and have long since embarrassed the candidate into withdrawing from the race. Oddly, the Paul extraterrestrials still maintain that he's a factor in that race.

Sure he is. Like a lobster has lips.

What snow storm?

Or is it?
The snowstorm which resulted in the caucuses being canceled in one county the Paul people thought they would do well in.

I was being sarcastic. There was no snowstorm. They predicted 1–3 inches but they just got a light dusting.
I see. Well, actually there was a snowstorm in part of the state, which did result in the caucuses being cancelled there. And the Paul folks howled about it.
