The mass media have repeated the official results for the Maine GOP presidential caucuses that former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney narrowly beat Texas Congressman Ron Paul by a 39 percent to 36 percent margin. But the official results are incomplete. And postponement of the results from one of Ron Paul's strongest counties, Washington County, because of a forecasted snowstorm may alone have tipped the balance in Romney's favor.
Ron Paul's campaign confidently predicted victory when the final votes are tallied. "Only 194 votes [statewide] stand between Paul and a first place victory," RonPaul2012 blogger Jack Hunter pointed out in a post after the media declared Romney the winner. "Washington County is a stronghold for Paul and has yet to report. It might be a week before we know the final outcome there and Washington County is expected to yield 200 votes or more." Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum placed third with 18 percent of the vote in the official Maine caucus, while former House Speaker Newt Gingrich placed fourth with six percent of the vote.

No it just shows you how rigged it all is...
ReplyDeleteRomney beats obama 51 to 49 watch... then when this happens you will know it is rigged...
Because how can you have 51 to 49 every damn voting year for the past 20 years?
Yes it was. Ron Paul is avoided in the news even when he takes a second place. They don't even mention his name. I believe he is the only one that can turn our country around. There is no difference in the other candidates. No matter what they say they are controlled by the same people that control Obama.
