Maine is no conservative state. People in Maine are poor and just vote all those entitlement give aways. Snowe is the most liberal Republican in the senate. Susan Collins is not too far behind.

I can't even find a report of the final tally. At 68% reporting: Romney 52%, McCain 22%. Why isn't this getting more press? That's a huge win! Of course even if they did report it, they'd be saying "doesn't count - no delegates" "no one campaigned there" -- more of the same like with Nevada and Wyoming. I think I heard more about Hillary's wins in no delagate states though. It's really a shame that McCain is likely to win this because the media is constantly downplaying Romney and boosting "the comeback kid".

Olympia Snowe came in to speak on behalf of McCain. She was not too popular, and was very nearly booed

Snowe was almost booed?

That is a first.

I grew up in Maine (still have family in Maine) and I never thought I would hear the day where Snowe was booed.

Let's hope this gets more airtime than Romney's Wyoming win did... and less "rationalizing" than his Nevada win did... and, well, he didn't grow up in Maine, hasn't outspent his rivals on advertising by 10-1. Guess the naysayers are going to have to come up with another "reason" for his success there. :-) I know it’s only 3% reporting, but that’s a pretty big margin.

I hate caucuses. Every state should have a primary so we could vote absentee. That damn senator Snowe really annoys me to no end. She's the most liberal Republican in the senate. I guess I'll email her for the hundredth time to let her know what I think of her supporting McCain...I have another name for him but I don't think I should type it here.
