Why Ron Paul is shivering in Maine instead of cavorting in Florida


The other three GOP presidential candidates are stumping in Florida ahead of the Jan. 31 primary, a winner-take-all-delegates affair. But not Ron Paul. Here's why he's up in Maine.

By Peter Grier, Staff writer / January 25, 2012



What’s Ron Paul up to? The other three GOP presidential candidates are focusing their efforts on Florida in advance of the Sunshine State’s Jan. 31 primary. But Mr. Paul is taking two days this week to go in the other direction. He’ll be in Maine, speaking at Colby College on Friday and the University of Maine’s Gorham campus on Saturday, among other possible appearances.

Why Maine? It’s no secret that Paul is giving Florida a pass, because ad time there is expensive and the state’s electorate skews older, which is not Paul’s best demographic. The Texas libertarian is focusing on caucus states such as Maine and Nevada, where his fervent supporters can more easily out-organize the competition.

But here’s something that has been little noticed in the press: Maine’s caucuses actually begin this weekend. So Paul may be pulling something of an end run about his rivals.

Yes, we know, if you look at the Maine Republican Party’s website, it lists Feb. 11 as the date officials will announce the results of a caucus presidential straw poll.

But if you scroll through the details, you’ll see that the party has established a window of Feb. 4-11 for Maine Republicans to caucus and vote for a presidential nominee and delegates to the state convention. And if you really squint and look at the fine print, you’ll note that the party faithful in some towns have ignored this guidance, and are meeting either before or after the February window.

Lincoln, Lowell, Burlington, Chester, Enfield, Winn, and Howland are holding their joint caucus on Saturday, for example. Millinocket’s is on Sunday (it’s at the Snowmobile Club). Castine’s is not until March 3.

We’re not the only commentator to have noticed this. Josh Putnam, a political scientist at Davidson College who specializes in the election process, discussed this development on his Frontloading HQ blog on Wednesday.

Maine’s situation “is unique, but it isn’t unprecedented,” wrote Mr. Putnam. Caucus states sometimes spread out their process down at the precinct or county level.

“Now, which candidate will make a last minute trip up to Penobscot County before Saturday?” Putnam asked, rhetorically.

We can answer that, can’t we? It’s Paul.

Of course, the stakes are higher in Florida, a winner-take-all primary with a prize of 50 delegates, than Maine, where caucusgoers will select 24 delegates statewide and vote in a nonbinding presidential straw poll. That’s why Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich are battling it out down south. We’re sure it has nothing to do with the weather in Miami versus in Penobscot County, where this time last year it was about 14 below. That’s so cold that when you talk outdoors adverbs freeze and fall to the ground before they can find their proper place in a sentence.

Ron Paul Best Choice for a Strong Defense

I never in a million years thought I would hear 18 to 20 year olds chanting to end the Federal Reserve. It sure is great to see. Maybe there is hope for the future yet.

It is very encouraging isn't it. A great many young people today are educating themselves on the political system rather than just accepting the bs of the talking heads in the media. With Romney or Gringrich or Santorum in the White House nothing will change for the better and that will energize even more young people. They are waking up!

Ron Paul Will Be Race's Second Leading Delegate Holder By Mid-February

Ron Paul is poise to end this and next week with a powerful series of caucus wins that are likely to propel him into second place in the delegate count in the Republican primary race.

Presuming the Republican National Committee is not successful in their threat to force Florida to award its 50 delegates proportionally, Romney will lead the delegate race after Tuesday night. But Paul, who has been on the ground in Maine and Nevada over the last week, has an organized effort that is likely to provide him with a powerful group of delegates (http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/T ... h-Santorum).

Nevada’s “first in the west” caucus takes place on Saturday, February 4. Maine’s caucuses open on the 4th but continue onto the 11th. Paul has long placed a premium on the caucus states, as did Barack Obama in 2008 and largely for the same reasons; in those states, Paul’s fervent supporters can overcome numeric disadvantages in a caucus whereas they are usually overwhelmed in straight primary elections.

Here’s the problem for Paul – of the February caucuses in Main, Minnesota, Colorado and Nevada, only the Silver State holds a “binding” caucus where delegates selected are directed to support the winning candidate (or candidates if the delegates are awarded proportionally). The non-binding caucuses are little more than straw polls where the delegates will be selected at state and municipal conventions later on in the year. Those delegates are directed to support whomever the state’s caucus or primary has selected, but should the nomination process come down to a brokered convention, it is highly doubtful that those delegates as diehard in their support for Ron Paul as his supporters who came out to caucus are.

Whatever the outcome of the convention, Paul is likely to emerge next week with the most “on paper” delegates in the race, besides the undisputed frontrunner, Mitt Romney. Paul’s campaign is not running out of steam any time soon and, given that his objective is to broker the GOP convention, Paul will be executing this strategy for months to come.

Saw a good quote out there - asking why young people like me were supporting Paul - debt slavery.

We never had the opportunities that the Boomers did and we are NOT happy to be paying for them.

I'm not a Paul supporter but I like him a damned sight more than I like Newt.
