[A bunch of claptrap about evil mutants removed] ...But he wasn't a factor in Maine, where Romney narrowly defeated Paul, capturing 39 percent to Paul's 36 percent of the vote, according to state Republican chairman Charlie Webster. Santorum and Gingrich, who didn't actively campaign in Maine, won 18 percent and 6 percent respectively. The Maine vote totals reflected about 84 percent of the state's precincts. The contests scheduled for the coming days -- including an entire county that postponed its caucuses because of a snow storm -- will not be counted, according Webster, the state GOP chairman. "We're not going to even accept the ballots. No one's going to keep track of them," he said, noting that those were the rules established by the party.

That CSer needs to be taken out, immediately. This is so over the top, I cannot say.
Every day, in every way, it's getting harder and harder to take this 'Pubbie circle jerk seriously.

Now that I've calmed myself a bit, WTF is the campaign going to do to challenge this criminal malfeasance? He cannot just ignore 84% of the citizens' votes.
I believe they counted 84%. Those not yet polled because of the storm are the remaining 16 percent, more than enough to put Paul over the top. And, the courts (peopled by political animals) will likely uphold the party rules because it's obvious that RP is a threat to the comfy status quo; the MIC, the Zionist Choke Hold Lobby, The Friends of Rockefeller-Clinton-Bush-Cheney who are still strip mining the treasury, Big Oil, Big Pharma, etc.,. Maine is lost, I believe. We may as well give up any hope of restoring our country through the ballot box.
I'm not going back through all the threads to find it, but there were only three counties completed, and only 16% of the vote counted. Paul 43% Willard 33%
Paul 43% Willard 33% Probably true. Paul is as welcome as a PUB as David Duke was as a DEM. Both were a threat and both were hosed by their own parties.

Replies to Comment # 17. Both were hosed by the establishment, of which the two parties are members.
