Your delegate numbers are wrong for Maine. (which I posted in the winning thread)
So here is a recap.
In a series of votes highlighting the deep division within the state GOP, 23 of the 24 delegates from Maine headed to the GOP nominating convention in Tampa, Fla., will support Paul. The other delegate goes to Charles Webster, chairman of the state GOP, who has remained uncommitted throughout the process.
Taken from a Maine paper, whom had reporters there! Here is the article. http://www.sunjournal.com/news/maine/2012/05/07/ron-paul-wins-maine-gop-nomination/1191691
For those that don't know Charlie Webster, He is the GOP chairman for the state ( his 1 delegate vote will most likely be for Romney.) His education lies in furnace installations and repair only and has dreams of granger (including that of being governor), that are now being crushed.
So I don't know why you folks are saying all but 4 of Maine's delegates are for Ron Paul. (read the article) I can also provide further info into Maine's GOP corruption, by it's leaders if need be.

I don't know about you, but I am sick and tired of these games. The Head of the Maine GOP releasing this statement, is a direct attempt to mislead the people into thinking this is how it is done. He obviously thinks that most of us are stupid. It is time that we send a very clear and very loud message to the Republican Establishment here in Maine. Come around to what the people want, or get out of the way. Principle Matters more than Party.
