Will Maine Give Ron Paul His First Win?

Even though Ron Paul has been putting up strong finishes in the caucuses and primaries he has yet to win a state. It looks like this weekend is his first real shot at becoming the 4th Republican to come out victorious in the Republican primary season.

From Reuters:

Saturday, Ron Paul could get his best shot at a victory in Maine, the cold, far northeastern state that has given a warm reception to his libertarian views. 

Local caucusing has been under way in Maine since January 29, and will continue in a few towns until March. Even so, the state Republican Party will announce the winner of its presidential straw poll on Saturday, and the Texas congressman's strong on-the-ground organization could have a big impact. 

Mitt Romney, a former governor of Massachusetts, generally is viewed as the favorite here, and in the overall Republican race. After losing the last three state contests to Rick Santorum, a former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania, Romney is thirsty for a morale-boosting win in Maine, where he won 52 percent of the vote during his unsuccessful run for president in 2008.

The R3VOLUTION continues this weekend and it will go all the way to the convention!
