| Description | It’s a two-man race in the Pine Tree State. But the contest isn’t between Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich; it’s between Romney and Ron Paul.
In 2008, Paul won third place in Maine’s caucuses with 18 percent of the vote. But he was only 178 votes shy of tying John McCain for second. And this year, with an extra push, Paul might just be able to win the state outright.
“The Paul campaign has really dedicated the resources to the state that make it possible for them to win the caucuses,” says Ken Lindell, chairman of the Maine Republican Liberty Caucus. (The caucus’s national organization has endorsed Paul, but Lindell has no official role in the Paul campaign.) “They’re doing real voter-ID calls — not robo-calls like they did last time,” he adds. “As far as I can tell, they’re the only campaign that has a real ground game.” |
