Romney wins Maine Republican primary

10 hours ago

NEW YORK (AFP) — Presidential hopeful and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney won Saturday's Republican primary election in the northeastern state of Maine, the Republican Party said.

With 57 percent of votes counted, Romney took 52 percent, followed by the national frontrunner, Arizona Senator John McCain with 22 percent, Ron Paul with 19 percent and Mike Huckabee 5 percent.

"With those results it is very sure that former governor Romney wins the contest," Maine Republican Party vice chair Scott Kauffman told AFP.

Although the Maine primary carries little weight in the national nominating contest, it does provide a symbolic boost for the conservative candidate in his attempt to overtake McCain in national opinion polls ahead of the key "Super Tuesday" event when more than 20 states are at stake.

"Today the people of Maine joined those from across the nation in casting their vote for conservative change in Washington," Romney, 60, said after the results were announced.

The Maine primary elects delegates to the state convention in May, which in turn will name delegates to the Republican national convention in September to choose the candidate.

Maine's Republican primary, however, is non-binding, with the 21 chosen delegates free to vote for whomever they chose at the state convention.

The Democratic Party will hold its primary in Maine on February 10.

I have been following the posts in the Winning Maine forum at ronpaulforums.com and according to Maineuhs, Romney is winning the unofficial straw poll, but Ron Paul is electing the most state delegates to the state convention. Apparently the vote which has Romney in the lead means nothing. When the state delegates go to their convention in May, they decide the national delegates. After today it will be known who REALLY won.

CNN lists its results by the number of delegates elected to the state convention.

Thus Romney has 2,362 state delegates but none elected to the RNC convention, while McCain has 958, Paul has 851, and Huckabee has 268.
