As the GOP Maine caucus goers clearly chose Romney (McCain barely, barely beat Paul), there is something that should be inspiring not only to Romney supporters, but the GOP and all persons who value the democratic processes. Consider this account:
Despite a sleet storm the night before that left much of the state coated with slush and ice Saturday morning, cars jammed the parking lot outside an Augusta elementary school where Kennebec County municipalities were caucusing.
Signs promoting the candidates were jabbed in snowbanks, and inside the school gym speeches were given on behalf of candidates as around 300 party members listened and occasionally broke into cheers.
Kim Pettengill, who has been a party activist for more than three decades, said Saturday's was the largest Kennebec County caucus turnout since 1980, the year Ronald Reagan won his first GOP nomination for president.
I don't care who you are or who you support; if you are a fan of the participation of the people in the governing process, there should be a feeling of inspiration in what the citizens of Maine did today.
Maine should be an example for all of us.
Go Mitt! and remember, McCain can't win the general unless he 'changes tactics'.
