Romney Edges Out Paul in Close Maine Republican Caucuses, Santorum Third

(The Blaze/AP) — Mitt Romney eked out a narrow win in Maine’s Republican caucuses, state party officials announced Saturday, providing his campaign a much-needed boost after three straight losses earlier this week. But the former Massachusetts governor‘s margin of victory over rival Ron Paul was so slim it all but guaranteed scrutiny of the party’s decision not to count the results of caucuses scheduled later in February.
At a state party gathering in Portland, state Republican Chairman Charlie Webster announced Romney had won with 2,190 votes compared to 1,996 for Paul, the only other candidate to aggressively compete in the state. Rick Santorum received 989 votes and Newt Gingrich won 349, but neither actively campaigned there.
Webster said any caucus results that come in after Saturday wouldn’t be counted no matter how close the vote turned out to be.
Maine’s caucuses began February 4 and continued throughout the week. But the results announced Saturday accounted for just 83 percent of all precincts in the state. Several communities elected to hold their caucuses at a later date.
Caucuses in Washington County scheduled Saturday were postponed until February 18 because of a major snowstorm that blanketed the region. Earlier, the state party’s Executive Director Michael Quatrano said county officials were told the results would not count toward the total.

Posted on February 11, 2012 at 11:21pmRick Sanitarium is the the only candidate who can challenge President Obama in the 2012 election. For one, he’s not a member of some fringe religious group like Rastafarianism or Buddhism or whatever fringe group that Romney gives fealty to. We know Rick report to the Pope, who is a known. But who knows what Deity Romney reports to and receives messages from as far as what is best for the world and stuff?
Besides, have you noticed you don’t have a clue what Romney stands for, not if you look at his history anyway. Whatever his latest speech says, you can find another past speech where he said the opposite.
If American‘s don’t vote for Sanitarium, I think I’m just gonna puke.

Posted on February 12, 2012 at 7:22amJZS a couple of questions for you…
1. If Jesus tells us to call no man father except our Father in heaven, why does Santorum’s pope have the title of Holy Father…?
2. If Jesus tells us that no man can absolve sin, why does Santorum’s pope perpetuate the lie that priests can absolve sin? Scripture tells us that without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin….. the shed blood of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.
The churches of men ( most but not all) are apostate because they refuse to teach the Truth of God. There is only one Bride of Christ.

I see you don’t understand the Catholic religion. I suspect you don’t understand most of the other religions under the cristian faith besides your own either, but I can’t say for certain.
Here’s a clue:
1) The Pope is not called “Father”. You even showed that in your comment (funny how people can answer their own question. He is the historical representative of the structure Jesus used. As Jesus IS God (via the trinity) and the Pope is the direct representations, the term “Holy Father” is an honorific, much like it is when you can somebody “Doctor Somebody” or “Mrs. Somebody”. Though, under your logic, your biologican Daddy can’t be called “father” either… so much for honoring him aside your mother.
2) Priests in the Catholic Chirch can’t absolve sin, so you are correct. The Pope doen’t say that they can. In the Catholic religion the priests help open a path of communication and aid in the sinner’s realization of their sin. Think of it like a psychiatrist. It isn’t the “Doctor” that heals the ills. The patient has to do the work. In this case, by praying for forgiveness.
YOU SAID “1. why does Santorum’s pope have the title of Holy Father…?
2. why does Santorum’s pope perpetuate the lie that priests can absolve sin?

He does his jedi mind trick on the idiots and they buy it because they want to believe him. just think of all the stuff even hilary could not get to stick to him and she is a great politician with very little baggage and a very important female moderate and left vote.
Rick will get beat, romney will get destroyed, Ron Paul will look like a fool against this guy. That leaves Newt the only one that can out debate this guy by a long shot. Rick is going to lose anyone near the middle. he is doing ok because Americans distrust Romney. Between his flip flops and being a mormon he will not get a majority vote.

Report Post »This is voter fraud clear and simple. The GOP is denying 17% of Maine voters their Constitutional right to be a part of the election process. The told Washington County they were not allowed to caucus and rescheduled it for the 18th, then afterwards they told Washington County that their votes won’t count.
On Friday, the GOP also set up 4 new caucus sights giving the people of Maine no notice expect via the GOP website. How many people do you think really read the Maine GOP site?
The Iowa GOP losing ballots in 8 counties.
The Nevada GOP didn’t count all the votes from Clark County.
Now the Maine GOP denies people their Constitutional right.
Notice a recurring theme? The GOP are frauds! They are no better than the DNC and just as insidious.
The GOP is doing everything in its power to have Obummer get a second term.

Yes, the problem is not Republicans or Democrats (there are actually some good ideas from Democrats) but is more insidious and is in both parties, progressives. Both Bushes were progressives, Clintons are progressives, Obama is a progressive. They are all the same just different degrees. Romney, Santorum and Gingrich, all progressives in different degrees. I do admit that Santorumm is the lower degree progressive, but a progressive is a progressive. He believes in big government. Paul is the only one who truly believes in Constitutional principles and that the people should be in control. This is why the establishment is against him so much. He will take their power and give it back to the people.

I do have issues with Dr. Paul but I have more with Mitt Romney and the GOP establishment. Sarah Palin gave a warning to these people today but as we can see from the state of Maine they are unwilling to listen to the people of this country and the people that back their party. what people don‘t understand what is for our future not only affects Republicans but libertarians and Democrats as well and I surely hope some education can be brought to these people before it’s too late.

There is huge voter fraud being perpetrated by the Maine GOP as they are not allowing all the citizens votes to count. They even told one ounty they weren’t allowed to caucus on the 11th , rescheduled their caucus date, then afterwards told them their votes won’t count because they just made up a new rule that all caucusing must end on the 11th.

Sorry about your stomach problems.
But Newt is not going away I’m betting he stays in until
the Convention. Rick will fade just like all the other non-Romneys.
Ron Paul stays in an might even win a few states but it’s looking
more like a Brokered Convention all the time.
A Brokered Convention does not favor The Establishment Candidate.
If they couldn‘t win on 1st ballot they’re not going to win an open ballot.
Ron Paul will do well but we’re talking about the Republican Convention
not the Libertarian.The GOP Elites an the Ronald Reagan Conservatives
wont vote for him PEACE THRU STRENGTH !
As I said before Santorum will fade because He comes off as Weak / Whiney.
I think he’s a great guy just not Presidential.
That leaves us with Newt or a Dark Horse (Jebb Bush / Mitch Danials / Bobby Jendal)
It’s still going to come down to The GOP Establishment Elites

Posted on February 11, 2012 at 9:38pmLooks more and more like we are heading toward a brokered convention and that will be good for Paul. His supporters have been filling up delegate positions all over the country because of good organization and understanding the process better than most. He will be a force to be reckoned with at a brokered convention as the delegates are not bound by the so-called winner of their state, even the hard delegates, which I suspect are already loaded with Paul supporters. I am hoping for a convention of this type as our country is in need of a true election that cannot be swayed by the establishments money. Go Ron Paul, Go Santorum, Go Gingrich, keep getting those votes and help keep Mitt from getting the 1144 delegates before the convention.

Ty for the response.
Well first off, we are broke. We are borrowing money from China to pay for a base in Australia to protect them from the Chinese. That is absurd.
Now granted we feel a degree of safety with the bases abroad, but as we could see on GBTV and the blaze the war is coming to our country. Those bases arent keeping us safe from the only real threats we have. No army, not even many countries combine could launch a real war against us. Our only threat is from within. Terrorist tactics have been used to take away our freedoms. You can see it with the Patriot Act and NDAA. That is the only way we lose.
Now you can say “how do we respond to a crisis happens” well we have 11 carrier battle groups. Each one has enough firepower to wipe out most of civilization. The next closest country to us in carrier battle groups is none. No one else has them. These groups can sit off a coast and launch planes that are unmatched in the world and or launch cruise and nuclear missiles. The Aegis destroyers keep the fleet protected from incoming attacks.
On to the budget cuts. Well under Dr. Paul many cuts would be made. But none of them would be on defense. We would still spend 4 times the next closest country on our military.
If we keep the spending we are on we have 100% chance of our country collapsing. Dr. Paul’s plan gives us a chance. No other candidate is even cutting money, they only cut future increases.
The choice is clea

“The “Advanced Hypersonic Weapon,” or AHW, was launched by rocket from Hawaii and proceeded to glide through the upper atmosphere over the Pacific “at hypersonic speed” before hitting its target on the Kwajalein atoll in the Marshall Islands, a Pentagon statement said. The payload section is still experimental but can deliver any type of conventional warhead at this point.”
I have heard of two failed tests of a Mach 20 plane.
“HTV-2 demonstrated stable, aerodynamically controlled Mach 20 hypersonic flight for approximately three minutes,” said DARPA director Regina Dugan in an Aug. 14 statement. “We do not yet know the cause of the anomaly for Flight 2.”

“I did not hear of failed attempts but only this successful test:”
This is just a SCRAM jet. It is boasted by a conventional rocket. It will be viable, but it is not yet a weapon. It doesn’t need a warhead. It will hit at 14,000 mph. It is a kinetic weapon. We have NO inventory.
Now, sub launched cruse missiles will do the same work, so the new weapon sounds good when Paul uses it to deflect the establishment’s attack on his foreign policy, but we do not have it in our holster.

The U.S. does not need to hold their hand in these issues as Isreal has the fourth strongest military in the world, behind the U.S., Russia and China.

I pretty much cover everything there concerning Paul and the second Amendment.
Paul in the NH debate said he doesn’t want Iran to have a nuke. Senator Rand Paul said of his dad, “[he] doesn’t want (Iran) to have nuclear weapons, he thinks it would be destabilizing for them to have them, but he thinks there needs to be a healthy debate in Congress about what our response should be.” Paul has repeatedly said that if we want war, we should declare it, fight it, win it, and come back home. No nation building.
“We must only send our men and women to fight for our country when the mission is clear, every necessary tool needed to win is provided, and we respect the Constitution by declaring war. Once war is declared, it must be waged according to Just War principles. We should only fight when it’s in our national security interest, and we should no longer do the corrupt United Nation’s bidding by policing the world.” – Ron Paul ronpaul2012.com/the-issues/statement-of-faith/

You call me a liar yet I have proven using video of Romney in his own words saying he is for those things. You can say he will be for or against something now, but if he was really for something and had a backbone he wouldnt be changing his mind on the positions he has had. His voting record has shown he will raise taxes.
Oh and if he was a good candidate with his looks, the way he talks, money, and how long he has been running for president this race would already be over.
Reasons people will not vote for Romney.
1. He flip flops positions to suit the race. Shows he has very little backbone and stands for nothing.
2. Romneycare. Just saying that name should be enough to keep him from even being thought of as a president.
3. He is a self proclaimed progressive. Look it up, there is video of it.
4. He is a Mormon. Say what you want, alot people feel that Mormons arent Christian. Save your Obama isnt one stuff, I didnt vote for him, and wont vote for him either.

America is still undecided.

Posted on February 12, 2012 at 9:07amWith all due respect, I feel like a lot of you just don’t seem to get it. You must understand, you can put Romney up there. You can put Gingrich up there. You can put Santorum up there. NONE of them can win against Obama without Ron Paul and his supporters. If there is an “anybody but Obama” strategy within the Republican party, why don’t you just nominate Ron Paul? He is the only guy who can truly beat Obama. He can take away Obama’s anti-war vote. Paul can take away Obama’s youth vote. Paul can take away more independents from him than any other GOP candidate. Lets also take a look at the GOP primaries so far. If you haven’t noticed, Dr. Paul gets a ton of votes from Dems and Indy’s, along with conservatives/libertarians. Yet, the media tells you that he is unelectable! That doesn’t even make any sense. I am just telling all of you the truth since you don’t quite seem to get it yet…NO ONE BUT PAUL!
You nominate any other candidate for the GOP and you will LOSE!

Posted on February 12, 2012 at 12:50amNewt and Santorum hate Ron Paul, so there‘s no way he’d be in either of their administrations. But Romney…as liberal as he was as Governor of MA, he seems to like Congressman Paul. I like the idea of Rand as VP and Ron overseeing the Treasury or the Fed. One thing you’ve gotta say for Romney, all his liberalism has been on the state level. He could be a very conserative president if he would just throw up his hands and say, “Ya know what, I‘m vetoing this bill because the states should decide this issue even though on the state level I’m a big friggin liberal.” That simple phrase would make him one of the most conservative presidents the country has had. What are Santorum and Gingrich’s excuses for their big government tendencies on the federal level? Their records are more damning than Romney’s because both guys have accepted the premise that the federal government should be massive and their voting records back that up.
It‘s great that in 4 years the Republican party has bolted in Ron Paul’s direction. No longer is he a punchline. The pundits have to take him and his ideology seriously. No longer can they dismiss his supporters as fringe kooks. A lot of mainstream conservative Republicans support him. Talk radio can only call him names for so long before they’ve alienated and lost their entire audience. Democrats and Independents like him as well. Looking for hope and change, a great uniter? If anyone can be that guy it’s Ron Paul.

Posted on February 12, 2012 at 7:01amI‘m not crazy about Rubio’s pro-amnesty views, but he is a strong persona in the GOP and a VP is not going to be doing much in the way of setting any kind of policy, so if it bolsters Romney and the ousting of Obama.. I’m all for it.

Posted on February 11, 2012 at 9:13pmGingrich and Santorum are not on ballots for 565 delegates. It is going to be very hard for either to get enough delegates for a win. By staying in, it will give us a chance at a brokered convention which would be good for Ron Paul. Paul supporters are getting in as delegates across the country and that is what will be needed if the a brokered convention happens. The other side of a brokered convention is that someone like Sarah Palin could throw her hat in the ring at the convention and possibly get the nomination as delegates are not committed to the primary wins by candidates. It will be a very interesting primary any way it goes.

What the media conveniently ignores is that the straw poll is a beauty pageant. It’s worth zero other than some publicity. It’s the delegates that count and if I were a betting man, I’d say Ron Paul is going to win the national delegates from Minnesota, Colorado, Iowa, Nevada, and Maine and just about every other caucus state. His supporters are the most knowledgeable and passionate, they also are good at just showing up and knowing the rules. For a bunch of lunatics, freaks and kooks, they sure are a lot smarter than the supporters of the other three candidates.
