Writes Wally Edge in PolitickerME.com:
“Republican insiders are quietly sounding the alarm across the State at the prospect of a Congressman Ron Paul win at the Republican caucuses to be held this weekend. Romney and McCain supporters and operatives are busily rallying the troops asking them to take a few hours to show up at the weekend caucuses.
“It’s hard to imagine how a caucus that is nothing more than a beauty contest, can generate so much last minute activity.
“Unless I am mistaken, there is a ‘straw poll vote’ and the selection of delegates – who must remain uncommitted by party rule. These delegates will then attend the Maine Republican Party convention in May to select the “real delegates” that will go to the national convention in St. Paul this summer.
“Hmmm….St. Paul — — Ron Paul – I see a conspiracy in the making.
“Still, it’s nice to see the Ronulans stir the pot and frighten the Republican establishment.” (Thanks to Brad Funkhouser.)
