AUGUSTA, Maine - Mitt Romney and Ron Paul are the
undisputed favorites in Maine, the next state weighing in on the
Republican presidential race. They're the only candidates who have
made much of an effort in the state.
Maine's Republican Party is set to announce the victor Saturday
night of the GOP contest. Local Republican Party committees have
spent the last week holding caucuses in schools, town halls and
fire stations up and down the state.
It's the first step toward electing Maine's 24 delegates to the
GOP convention. The outcome could give bragging rights to the
victor as well as a slight uptick in delegates.
Maine's GOP chairman, Charles Webster, says there are pockets of
support for all the candidates but predicts that the race will come
down to Romney and Paul.
