Maine Caucus

Do we know what time the Caucus is? When should expect to see results?
Thanks.

It's throughout the day (i.e. Nebraska yesterday). We won't see results till 8 or so tonight.

There's an open (and thus far, empty) thread up on a Maine blog where you may see some early indicators: http://www.turnmaineblue.com/

Androscoggin County in ME a wash. Clinton 62, Obama 55.

There's a pattern rapidly emerging in Maine. Smaller, rural communities are evenly divided or tilting narrowly to Hillary. But larger, more urban areas are going for Obama by very large margins, and he's rapidly building up an edge among delegates. The vote in Cape Elizabeth was 556 to 217; York was 414 to 225; Gardiner 129 to 47. The total from Rockport isn't posted, but the 250 voters there split the delegates 8-3 for Obama.

This one may not be as tight as many people had presumed. It looks like the superior financial resources the Obama campaign has enjoyed for the past month, coupled with their supporters' enthusiasm and the campaign's ground-level organization, are going to carry the state rather decisively for Obama.

Obama is declared the winner by ABC, NBC, CNN. He has 59% to 41% (for Hillary).

This is truly amazing.

Clearly, the Dems in this country have woken up, rejected Hillary, and want to hope for change!

I am extremely impressed with Obama and his campaign.

Obama is now clearly the front runner, I hope some of these super delegates start speaking out.
