Ron Paul Beats McCain in Maine Caucus, Primed to Win Over 1/3 of State Delegates

In the Race for Delegates, Ron Paul Appears to Closely Trail Romney for First Place

ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--While most reports about this past weekend’s Maine Caucus focused on the purely symbolic presidential preference poll, in the meaningful race to secure delegates to the state convention Ron Paul is primed to finish second with likely 35 percent of the total delegates.

Delegates to the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis are elected by the state delegates. Internal results from 10 of 16 counties, including the largest cities of Portland, South Portland, Lewiston, Auburn, Augusta, Waterville, Bangor, and Brewer, show Ron Paul picking up 215 of 608 State Convention delegates so far reported, or 35%.

“Ron Paul’s strong second place finish in Maine, in which he beat John McCain, is proof that this race is far from over,” said Ron Paul campaign manager Lew Moore. “We’ll continue to battle for every delegate in this wide-open race for the Republican nomination.”

In the presidential preference poll, with 70 percent reporting, Ron Paul is in third place just two percentage points behind John McCain. However, the Maine preference poll is purely a beauty contest, and in the actual election of state delegates the so-called “frontrunner” McCain is far behind Ron Paul.

Ron Paul Very Likely to Win Washington State

We've written here at Gambling911.com regarding how Ron Paul was likely to have a very strong showing in the Democratic stronghold of Washington State. Now the Seattle Post Intelligencer is predicting Paul could win the state.

The long time Texas Congressman had his biggest showing yet in the state of Maine with nearly 19 percent of the vote count despite coming in 3rd place just three points behind Republican front runner John McCain.

Paul, a Texas congressman, is running fourth of the four remaining GOP candidates, but he's poised for a dramatic showing -- even a victory -- in Saturday's caucuses, according to a Seattle P-I analysis of campaign finance documents.

Furious state residents are voicing their anger over a law that makes online poker a felony in the state of Washington. Ron Paul, in an interview with Gambling911.com, told of how he voted against a federal law that makes some forms of online gambling illegal. However, that law does not make it a felony to place a bet, unlike in Washington State where actual gamblers could be facing several years in prison for playing poker over the Internet.

Our goal tomorrow is to win every vote we possibly can for Ron Paul. Not a single one is wasted, because a vote for Ron Paul is a rejection of the path America has been on-the path toward empire and bankruptcy-and an affirmation of the course set by our nation's Founders. We have a very good shot at the top slots in the caucus states, and even if Ron Paul doesn't finish first in the winner-take-all primaries tomorrow, he can still win national delegates from those states later.

I have a feeling this is what hes going to try to do. He has the money to stay in there, and with many votes up in the air now that Romney is left, its still anyones game.

Many conservatives don't like McCain, and since Paul is actually very conservative, he might possibly pull it off (unlikely, though).
