Maine Caucus Blockus
7:25PM
CNN calls Maine for Senator Obama.
Obama - 1,817 - 59%
Clinton - 1,263 - 41%
79% reporting
6:12PM
Current results in the big Maine caucus:
Obama - 1,305 - 57%
Clinton - 956 - 42%
59 percent of precincts reporting
Also, Senator Clinton has fired campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle and replaced her with Maggie Williams. The word is that there was no ground coordination on the campaign message.
And finally, I heard Senator Clinton on CNN again criticizing Senator Obama's "rhetorical flourishes" and lack of policy detail in his speeches. There's a lot to say here including an entire thing about how it drives me apeshit when I hear people saying "I don't know what he stands for" -- but I think I addressed this in the previous post.
If you want to know what Senator Clinton's or Senator Obama's positions and plans are, they're all right there on the campaign websites. In print and suitable for holding candidates accountable. So if it's augmented by inspiring "rhetorical flourishing"... awesome. That's balance, if you ask me.

If Barack Obama does well on Tuesday, the DNC and Hillary Clinton will not be able to ignore the obvious anymore.

Bob, help me out here. I was just over at C&L, and they report that Barack has won the popular vote, with figures almost the same as what you're reporting. However, they also state that Hilary got 2 delegates, and Barack 0. Could someone do some splainin' 'bout this?
Thanks

That's weird. Right now it says Obama 15, Clinton 11. There are 34 delegates total at stake in Maine. CNN says 15-9

And Romney won for the GOP - 18 delegates - are the dead going to rise again?
