Thanks Conner of Austin, TX. Looks like CNN slipped up and allowed your comment to get through about Ron Paul!
MAINE for anybody but RON PAUL?!! (someone slipped something into their chowdah)
CNN- Fred Thompson got 4 VOTES, yet your article on this race stated that he got 4 PERCENT! Quite a discrepancy, don't you think!? What the hell, don't you people over in Ted Turner land proofread? News FLASH: The paper in Arlington, VA stated today (Mon. the 4th) that RON PAUL got a convincing SECOND place in Maine with 35%, beating golden boy McCain who had 12%. I don't see that on the 'ol TICKER! Instead CNN reports on the REALLY IMPORTANT NEWS: Hillary bawls on cue, women will vote Hillary, Obama is still black, and Franken-Dole writes a letter to Rush Pillpopper. Oh, and the front page of CNN- "Top GOP Contenders fight it out," with Huck, Mitt, and Mc's pictures- no image of Ron Paul DESPITE the fact he's had more popular votes than the Huck so far in this race. CNN- you're a bunch of fascists! Watch the old movie NETWORK and you'll understand what's going on here. 'Tis a sad day that REAL news is posted by common folk in these 'comment' sections of your site, rather than by your so-called "journalists." Do what you will CNN- the REVOLUTION doesn't end with Ron Paul, it's only just begun.
RON PAUL WINS MAINE!!!! HE WON THE DELEGATES!!! RON PAUL HAS WON MAINE
