This is a press release, so I'm quoting all of it:

LAKE JACKSON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tonight the campaign of 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul sent an email to supporters regarding todays caucus results from the state of Maine. See below for a portion of comments from Ron Paul 2012 Campaign Manager John Tate.
Of course, their excuse for the delay was snow.
Ron Paul will win the most delegates out of Maine tonight.
In fact, he will probably even win the beauty contest straw poll the media has already called for Mitt Romney even before all the votes have been tallied.
In Washington County where Ron Paul was incredibly strong the caucus was delayed until next week just so the votes wouldnt be reported by the national media today.
Of course, their excuse for the delay was snow.
Thats right. A prediction of 3-4 inches that turned into nothing more than a dusting - was enough for a local GOP official to postpone the caucuses just so the results wouldnt be reported tonight.
This is MAINE were talking about. The GIRL SCOUTS had an event today in Washington County that wasnt cancelled!
And just the votes of Washington County would have been enough to put us over the top.
This is an outrage. But our campaign is in this race to win, and will stay in it to the very end.
Congressman Pauls message of liberty and Constitutional principles is resonating with Americans everywhere who are sick and tired of the status quo establishment, and we plan to take this campaign on to Super Tuesday and beyond.

(13,924 posts)If they are willing to say get that close to actually accusing the GOP of misdeed, can they prove it?
And if they can, what would that mean to the Republican race going forward?
And even if they can't, this sends a pretty clear message of disenchantment to their supporters.
Every voter that realizes that the GOP is corrupt as all hell and jumps ship is a good thing for this nation. Even if they just jump over to the libertarian or constitutional party nominees.

You had to know they were gonna rip you off right from the start. You know they ain't gonna let you win a single damn state. Quit now and join Perry at the N-head ranch for a few cold ones.
