- Maine does not like to do things by the book. (New York Times)
- The rather unusually structured Maine caucus will come to an end this evening. Sort of. (More on that below.) So how much of an impact is this going to have on the race? The media is certainly making a spirited effort to pump up the volume. (Hotair.com)
- But the former Massachusetts governor won just a plurality of the Maine vote, suggesting he still has work to do to unite GOP voters behind his candidacy. The totals reflected about 84 percent of the states precincts. (YAHOO!)
- Maine holds 24 delegates, but they will not be awarded until May. Turnout was low in the caucus, though essentially unchanged from 2008. (ABC News)
- On Saturday evening, the Maine Republican Party will announce the results of its state's caucus. But to refer to Saturday as the date of Maine's caucus would be incorrect. (ABC News)
- Texas Rep. Ron Paul (R) might have his first victory soon: Maine. Like Paul himself, the primary process in Maine goes against the grain. Most caucuses last a day. In Maine, they last a week. (Washington Post)
- but Maine did not add any to anyone's column. The straw poll was a beauty contest, with no bearing on the allocation of the state's 24 delegates, who will not be picked until a convention in May. (New York Times)
- Once again, an establishment media source has mistakenly released the final results of a state caucus too early, this time prior to the Maine Caucus. (Examiner)
