As Goes Maine . . .
March 6, 2016
Bernie Sanders
FLINT, Mich. U.S. Bernie Sanders issued the following statement on Sunday after The Associated Press projected that he won the Maine caucuses:
I thank the people of Maine for their strong support. With another double-digit victory, we have now won by wide margins in states from New England to the Rocky Mountains and from the Midwest to the Great Plains. This weekend alone we won in Maine, Kansas and Nebraska. The pundits might not like it but the people are making history. We now have the momentum to go all the way to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
Peace.

I'm several hours north of there in the rural red part of Maine. Our caucus was smaller than in 2008, but still a pretty good turnout for such a tiny town. Our results were 9 votes for Bernie and 2 for Hillary. I don't know what that translates into for delegates, though. If the convener mentioned it, I missed it somehow.

...I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.
That should be mandatory viewing for everyone who says, " ( Young people**** ) may be at the caucuses, but they won't turn out to vote."
**** Insert whatever group TPTB want to disenfranchise.
Breathtakingly impressive.

(11,112 posts)2. I traveled in Maine over the weekend and saw
many, many political signs. Every one of them was for Bernie except one handmade one for Hillary. Sad to say, there were two Trump bumper stickers.
