2012 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul has scored a strong
finish in the Maine presidential caucuses. Paul gained over 36 percent
of the vote in the ‘Pine Tree' state, being barely nudged out by
eventual winner Gov. Mitt Romney who pulled in a little over 38 percent.
Paul performed well throughout the state, although his campaign's
stronghold of Washington County did not report today for inexplicable
reasons. Congressman Paul was barely bested by Gov. Romney by about 194
votes, a margin the campaign is confident it will make up with the 200
plus votes expected to come out of Washington County's caucus.
"Today's results show once again that Congressman Paul's campaign for
liberty and a return to Constitutional principles is strong and
growing," said Ron Paul 2012 National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton.
"We are confident that we will control the Maine delegation for the
convention in August. Our campaign is so thankful to all of our
supporters in Maine, and all over the nation, and we want them to know
that we plan to take this message all the way to the White House."
