Rising Hegemon
Out of Maine's 258,000 registered Republicans, nearly 5,600 cast ballots in the weeklong contest. But questions about Romney's durability as the party's presumed front-runner persist. Fully 61 percent of Maine voters selected another candidate than Romney in a state practically in his back yard. And Romney's showing was down considerably from 2008, when he won 51 percent of the vote.One week to get 5,600 total voters?
The Huffington Post story alone has 2,000 more comments on the caucus than the caucus had participants.

Bodes well for the general election, I must say. Especially, as is still most likely, Mittens wins the nomination. Santorum or Gingrich winning the nomination, might motivate the base a bit more, but alienates the general electorate. A win-win for sanity.
make it so.
that's actually very impressive... their field of candidates managed to turn off almost 98% of registered Republicans... I wonder if those actually voting had incomes above $1,000,000....
