1. Where did you come up with your DU name?

I've been curious about that...it's clever.

[MadBadger]

4. I'll PM you my everr so personal details.

[Bicoastal]

6. Uh-oh...nt

[Debi]

9. And here I thought he'd say he sneezed while typing!

Hmmmmmmm

[SoxFan]

35. I thought his cat typed it

[redwitch]

85. what does it mean?

Am I dumb for not "getting" it?

[IndieLeft]

177. just say it... that sound you make when you are about to give something serious thought

[bigbrother05]

2. Thanks keep us posted

[IndyOp]

3. A link to Maine TV station that should show caucus result totals as they come in.

626 precincts - 0% reporting as of right now:

http://www.wmtw.com/index.html

[K Gardner]

61. Very nice link... thanks !

[IndyOp]

67. CNN has the same - I wonder if they are borrowing their numbers from WMTW? (n/t)

:hi:

[Bread and Circus]

5. I used to live in Maine, I love hearing those names again.

[Quixote1818]

7. When will Maine be done with voting? nt

[Drunken Irishman]

8. If these numbers hold, Obama is doing extremely well.

[MadBadger]

10. Got More Numbers Folks

Clinton takes Rumford 52 to 37

Clinton takes Dixfield 16 to 14

Clinton takes Mexico 27 16

Clinton takes Byron 1 to 0

Obama takes Hanover 6 to 2

Obama takes Gardiner 129 47 with 2 uncommitted

Clinton takes Old Orchard Beach 134 to 128

I'm betting some of those are in terms of delegates, and not votes.

http://www.turnmaineblue.com/

[Drunken Irishman]

14. And these numbers suggest Clinton will do extremely well.

I expect a tight race, but I think Clinton wins Maine by 7-8 points.

[MadBadger]

17. I dont see it that way. She is beating him by smaller margins where she does.

Im sticking to my four poiint Obama victory.

[MadBadger]

18. 11 percent in, Obama 50 Clinton 48 via CNN

[Drunken Irishman]

22. That's good news for Obama, since the smaller areas are going to report first.

[Drunken Irishman]

21. Yeah, I just realized this.

Plus, it does appear Obama is winning more areas so far.

[SoxFan]

40. Look at where they are winning

Obama has won some large, suburban communities. That means he could pick up once we hear from South Portland, Yarmouth, Falmouth, Kennebunk, and Kittery.

I also haven't seen anything from the college towns yet.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

115. Clinton's winning, er, more backwoods places.

I'm assuming Obama is taking more Southern Maine and Clinton the backwoods (Mexico, Rumford, etc.). Could be wrong, though.

[rodeodance]

11. Rumford, Dixfield, Mexico, and Byron caucuses go for Clinton

[grantcart]

13. Obama 556 to Clinton 217

http://news.mainetoday.com/updates/022070.html

CAPE ELIZABETH — Sen. Barack Obama cruised to an easy win in the Cape Elizabeth caucus on Saturday, defeating Sen. Hillary Clinton by a vote of 72 to 28 percent.

More than 680 people turned out to participate in the caucus, more than double the number of those that showed up in 2004, according to Jamie Wagner, the chairman of the Cape Elizabeth Democratic Committee.

Obama won by a final tally of 556 to 217. That total includes the 94 Democrats who voted absentee.

[MadBadger]

15. Those are big numbers for Obama

[caseycoon]

16. K&R Thanks! n/t

[cali]

19. Thanks for the thread, hnmnf

I think it might be close, with the south going largely for Clinton, though I expect Obama to do well in Portand- it is a latte liberal kind of place.

[grantcart]

24. fox showing live Maine caucus now

[Nite Owl]

26. For what it's worth

CNN just reported

Obama 50%
Clinton 48%

didn't get the per cent reporting

It's close.

[SoxFan]

42. Raw votes or state-level delegates?

The reporting is a mish-mash!

[Nite Owl]

29. Thanks!

It's nice to see a serious thread in here. For that, you get a kitty:

[MadBadger]

31. Thats a Fat Cat.

[blogslut]

38. and serious!

:hi:

[fascisthunter]

30. Pretty Good for Obama

I had the idea Maine would be pro-Hillary.

[IndyOp]

32. She is picking up a good number of towns... It ain't over until it's over.

I am an Obama supporter who isn't counting any chicks until they've hatched.

:hi:

[quakerboy]

37. its a little odd

CNN vs whats coming out of www.turnmaineblue.com...

CNNs numbers are running even 50-49, whereas the tmb count is 64/46

[IndyOp]

60. CNN could just be way behind TurnMaineBlue in terms of results reported --

or CNN could actually be ahead. It depends on how TurnMaineBlue is getting their results. It could be that CNN is holding back some pro-Obama results hoping that Clinton will catch up in other locations.

If there is a difference by the time all precincts report (600+) then I'll pick up a torch.

:hi:

[fascisthunter]

90. It May Not Be Over but It Doesn't Look Good for Hillary

[SoxFan]

33. This is going to be very close!

On the good side for my guy, he appears to be piling up some big numbers in the heavily populated bedroom towns like York and Cape Elizabeth; that could mean a strong showing in much of greater Portland.

We also haven't seen orono yet, and i suspect Obama will win there easily.

[carpediem]

36. results posted on a google map

I got this from here:
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/2/10/133322/424/621/453996

someone is updating a google map with pushpins showing the results. It is nice because you can see where the towns are that are reporting. The red pins are Clinton and the blue pins are Obama.

Here is the link to the google map:
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=108855644820400443340.000445d3794716293aa9b&z=7&om=0

[IndyOp]

43. Wow. Good google map! Over 600 precincts total - long way to go. (n/t)

[Quixote1818]

45. Thanks for the links. That map is awesome! nt

[mrmx9]

50. There are 18 pins (towns) for Obama and only five for Hillary

So based on the map Obama seems to have the edge in towns!

[mrmx9]

51. There are 18 pins (towns) for Obama and only five for Hillary

So based on the map Obama seems to have the edge in towns!

[Quixote1818]

56. It's 21 to 6 now. Looks like this could turn into a big win for Obama. nt

[Quixote1818]

66. 24 to 6 for Obama now. nt

[K Gardner]

68. What a diverse and talented bunch are democrats! This is great !

[Eurobabe]

39. Since you are an Obama supporter

I took you off my ignore list. Not sure why you were on there.

GOBAMA

[MadBadger]

41. hmmm, quite odd.

[Drunken Irishman]

46. I've accidently hit the ignore button a few times.

Not on you, of course, but it happens.

[IndyOp]

64. Prior to the primaries I had 2 people on ignore...

Now I have 37.

:(

[MadBadger]

69. I purge my list every so often. I have 5 right now.

[IndyOp]

73. I've purged in the past - I don't expect to do so until after the Clinton-Obama wars

are over. Sadly, several on ignore are Obama supporters. I just feel exhausted and discouraged when I read anger-inspired posts.

[Drunken Irishman]

77. I have a lot too.

It sucks.

:(

[woolldog]

95. Anyone have me on ignore?

Just curious...

[Drunken Irishman]

155. I don't! :)

[IndyOp]

185. Me either - you are not on my ignore list, that is. (n/t)

:hi:

[woolldog]

189. Oh good.

I was a little worried when no one responded. :evilgrin:

[IndyOp]

192. I was walking my dogs.

:hi:

[grantcart]

44. well it must be that cult stuff crossing your wires lol

[grantcart]

48. Yarmouth 3-1 Obama big crouds in Portland

The Illinois senator also won in Yarmouth, defeating Clinton by a three-to-one margin. The final vote there was 484-139, Obama.

Democratic caucus-goers in Portland are waiting in long lines at Portland High School while a team of 30 registrars works to herd them into the event.

Organizers have assured the hundreds still waiting outside the high school that anyone in line by 4 p.m. will be admitted to the caucus. Voters waited in lines that stretched from the school’s entrance on Cumberland Avenue to Congress Street as recently as 2:30 p.m.
http://news.mainetoday.com/updates/022070.html

[cali]

52. Wow. Amazing.

I should be used to these crowds showing up to vote in dem caucuses/primaries, but I still marvel at it each time. Here's to hoping that Obama wins Portland.

[graywarrior]

54. That is huge.

[dempartisan23]

58. i am loving this

GOBAMA

[MadBadger]

49. Results seem to have stalled.

[grantcart]

53. that is usually a great sign too many people for the facilities

[grantcart]

55. somebody from Maine had posted a warning indicating that

the caucuses started at different times, and that the bigger ones tended to be later.

[MadBadger]

57. I think they run for another 90 minutes, maybe more with delays.

[grantcart]

65. Portland High School closed their doors at 4:00 Eastern time

[fight4my3sons]

131. It has started to snow.

We came out of our caucus to a good amount of snow and wind. We about 40 minutes North of Portland. I don't know if that has anything to do with anything at all...

[MadBadger]

59. UPDATE!!! Obama takes three more!

Obama takes Presque Isle 63 to 60
Obama takes Stonington 48 to 24
Obama takes Scarborough 401 to 283

[Arugula Latte]

62. Wicked Pissah! Go, Obama!

:bounce:

[SoxFan]

108. HEY!

If you're from Oregon, are you allowed to say wicked pissah? I mean, it just seems wiked bizzah coming from an outsiduh.

[Arugula Latte]

117. Well, I'm from Portland, Oregon, and, uh, see, it was named after Portland, Maine.

So, that practically makes me a Maine-ah ...

:yoiks:

[ginnyinWI]

205. better than when they called it Stumptown, right? n/t

[Arugula Latte]

121. Oh, crap-ah.

[MadBadger]

74. Obama has won the last 17 reported contests.

[grantcart]

75. FOX: 4,000 absentee ballots

[IndyOp]

78. Ruh-roh! Any hint about whose candidate's voters cast more absentee ballots? (n/t)

[Drunken Irishman]

79. Hard to say, but I doubt it'll play a major factor.

[NWHarkness]

199. Absentees statewide were heavily for Obama

Uh, they told me that yesterday, but I wasn't allowed to say so until now.

[TeamJordan23]

80. how do absentee ballots work with a caucus?

I would think the results already take into account the absentee ballot for each caucus site.

[Drunken Irishman]

82. They probably are.

Which may be the 11% results?

[NWHarkness]

You are right

They give the absentees to the caucus convener, who counts them in which the other votes.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

132. Yeah, my momma was an Obama one'a those.

Not sure how they quite figure it in, but it's fairly common. :)

[Quixote1818]

76. Obama with 28 wins to 6 for Hillary so far.

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=108855644820400443340.000445d3794716293aa9b&z=7&om=0

[Drunken Irishman]

81. That means there are 544 areas still to report.

A lot can change. Yikes.

[MadBadger]

83. Obama takes Newcastle in Delegates 5-2 n/t.

[Drunken Irishman]

84. Hm, Clinton better hope those areas that haven't counted go to her overwhelmingly.

Or this could actually be an Obama blowout.

[MadBadger]

86. Obama Takes Alfred and Gorham.

Obama takes Alfred 40 to 25
Obama takes Gorham 267 to 189

[TeamJordan23]

87. Looks like Obama might be in a position to pull off an upset win in Maine. Great News! nm

[NWHarkness]

110. You won't know anything without Portland and Lewiston

[WritingIsMyReligion]

149. This is true.

I'll be very curious to see how the cities flow.

[Quixote1818]

93. The map is starting to look like a tidal wave of blue

Prescott Bush called Connecticut home. As a matter of fact, his Senate seat is currently occupied by a Republican he would have been proud of......

[MadBadger]

96. Obama takes Lee 11-9

[Levgreee]

97. Anyone have a schedule for the upcoming caucuses? nm

[JackORoses]

98. all Clintons wins have been by small margins, many of Obama's have been 2 or 3 to 1

It's looking like the majority of Maine voters are on the Obama Train.

WoooWoooo!!

[MadBadger]

100. Obama wins Kennebunkport.

[SoxFan]

I guess Bush's comments didn't swing the neighbors

[NWHarkness]

102. Obama wins Belfast

104. He just keeps winning: Obama takes Kennebunk 24 to 11 and Steuben

[goodgd_yall]

105. They'll be splitting the pledged delegates, most likely n/t

[thevoiceofreason]

107. Want to bet?

She'll get some. Not as many as she thinks, I think.

[goodgd_yall]

123. I'm basing it on not changing much from the percentages at this point.

The bigger cities haven't reported much yet. I still think it will be close.

[Quixote1818]

106. Obama takes Halifax, Nova Scotia!

Dam, even the Canadians are jumping in on the voting now!

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=108855644820400443340.000445d3794716293aa9b&z=7&om=0

[IndyOp]

109. !

:rofl:

[MadBadger]

111. Clinton is doing fine somehow. I think these results are included in the 11%

I just dont see how thats possible.

[TeamJordan23]

113. I don't think they do....CNN has been at 11% for nearly an hour now. nm

[Quixote1818]

119. Right, and the first few tiny towns that came in favored Clinton. Since then

its been all Obama.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

112. This is exciting, having people actually paying attention to our humbly blue state.

I know several 17-year-olds who went out today to caucus for Dems, as Maine allows you to do so provided you'll be 18 by the election. I think all went for Obama. :)

[goodgd_yall]

124. Awww

I always had a soft spot in my heart for Maine.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

130. Good ole Maine, doin' its thing.

Fascinating state, really.

[MadBadger]

122. But yet the 11% number represents 69 precincts. Im a little confused.

[Windy]

125. they haven't updated in a while. a lot of the larger cities have come in

since that percentage was first reported.

[fight4my3sons]

120. Phippsburg, ME

25% of the Dem registered voters showed up for the caucus. I think they said 108 total people.

62- Obama (57 people there + 5 absentee ballots)

44 - Clinton

2 - undecided

delegates

4 - Obama

2 - Clinton

It came down to a coin toss at the end to decide the final delegate.

[grantcart]

126. Fox is saying 57% 42% Obama to Clinton with 40% reporting

figures from Democratic committee

[MadBadger]

127. There we go!

[grantcart]

153. Methinks they don't have "the math."

:evilgrin:

[Zynx]

147. Wait...what?

[WritingIsMyReligion]

143. Any other Mainers hanging around here?

Do you all see a sort of pattern--Clinton more backwoods/upstate, Obama more SoME? I know Gorham, Scarborough, Cape, York, the Kennebunks, etc. all went for Obama, while the Clinton wins have all been Mexico, etc, with the exception of Wells (SoME but Clinton). Interesting.

[lse7581011]

154. Ayuh!

But Sanford and Biddeford went for Hillary-still waiting for Kittery!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

164. Ah, Biddo.

Good ole Biddo. :)

[eShirl]

159. Does anyone live there?

[lse7581011]

160. In Kittery n/t

[Drunken Irishman]

161. Just crabs.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

163. Some, yes.

It depends on where in southern/western Maine. Out near the NH border is less populated; closer to L/A or south is more populated.

[Renew Deal]

165. That's for all your guidance.

I've been to Maine once, so I don't know it that well.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

167. It's interesting--not too hard to understand as far as population goes.

Southern Maine and the coast are well-populated; the north and west are less so. There are a few pockets of population north (Bangor/Orono, Houlton/Presque Isle, etc.), but there's a reason why northern Maine tends to be townships rather than actual organized towns.



York, Cumberland counties are most populous; there are good amounts of people in all the coastal ones. Oxford has some people, though less than York or Cumberland, I would say. The monstrosity of "the county" (Aroostook) should be a clear sign that there are generally more trees than people up that way. :D

[Renew Deal]

170. That's awesome.

Thanks! :yourock:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

171. No problemo.

Any other questions about Maine demographics, hit any of us Mainers up--we're glad to educate people about the state. :)

[NWHarkness]

173. In southern Maine?

Yeah, about 3/4 of the population!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

174. Precisely.

:D

[mirrera]

168. No the only pattern I see is Clinton only wins by a little and Obama wins by a lot!

I was stunned at my caucus. With all the media spin and us being such a little town I was sure it would be closer but no. Overwhelming support for Obama. All our absentees were for Obama, except i for Edwards. A bunch of absentees arrived in Maine too late.




PS Skinner is it time to add Obama to the dictionary.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

172. That's awesome.

What region are you in? I'm in Greater Portland, so small towns I'm less familiar with. :)

[mirrera]

219. Waldo county 5 miles north of Portland... latte drinkers with two jobs, lol!

[brooklynite]

158. New results ... Obama 57% Clinton 42% (44% in)

Obama - 962 delegates
Clinton - 702 delegates

just reported on CNN

[Whisp]

162. it's all fake. Obama has been maine-lining

the kindergarten junkie he was.

:) or :sarcasm:
can't be sure of proper smilies these days.

[high density]

166. South Portland, Ward 1: (approx) 212 Obama, 85 Clinton (71% Obama)

These figures are the best I can remember. Includes absentee votes. 8 Kucinich supporters went to the Obama side.

Unfortunately I don't recall the state delegate counts... It was a tiring process five hours in length. There were TONS of new Democrats being registered. TONS. They were filed out the door.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

169. Go SoPo!

Which part of the city is ward 1?

[high density]

175. We're on the eastern side over by SMCC

:hi:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

176. Ah, nice.

178. Obama takes Gardiner, Manchester

http://news.mainetoday.com/updates/022075.html

Those who caucused in Gardiner and Manchester chose Sen. Barack Obama by wide margins today.

Unofficial totals in Gardiner showed 129 for Obama and 47 for Sen. Hillary Clinton.

In Manchester, 79 expressed a preference for Obama and 31 for Clinton.

Democratic Party officials use the totals to divvy up delegates.

Both towns had larger than normal turnout, and Augusta delayed the start of its caucus for about an hour because of long lines of people waiting to register as Democrats. Their results will not be available until later tonight.

[NWHarkness]

181. We had to delay over an hour in Belfast

We were overwhelmed with new registrees. The clerk told me she had about 8 new people to register in 2004, there was a huge line today.

We were supposed to meet in the middle school cafeteria. We had to meet in the gym instead.

[slick8790]

202. You know, having lived in Portland and Fryeburg, I know this is astounding,

[fascisthunter]

204. yup

I am surprised....

[WritingIsMyReligion]

184. Ward 7 in Lewiston went for Clinton.

I don't know which part of town Ward 7 is, but I suspect Lewiston as a whole might lean towards Clinton. Portland is still all out.

[IndyOp]

187. Will Portland wait to report all at once? (n/t)

[NWHarkness]

194. Portland will be a while

Just saw it on local news. They are overwhelmed, it's going to take them a while to get done. Remember, after they vote, they still have to choose delegates.

All the wards vote in the same place, so I would assume they'll all be released at once.

[Windy]

[IndyOp]

210. Srsly? Damn. I wish there were a Canada, Maine, too -- then if Obama wins them

he could claim to have won Mexico and Canada.
