Mitt Wins Another Gold, This time in Maine

Yesterday, Maine Republicans appeared at their municipal caucuses in droves. The municipal caucuses were held as a first step in determining the commitments of Maine's delegates to the Republican national convention.

Mitt Romney won handily. Maine is hardly a make-or-break state. However, when you are running a fifty state campaign, winning states like Maine and Wyoming matters. It matters that a presidential candidate is paying attention to every state in the nation, not just the ones that he thinks prefer him.

The McCain campaign struggled through the caucuses, finishing with 21 percent, barely ahead of Congressman Ron Paul.
