So here is a potential problem. Record turnout in the Maine Republican Caucuses yesterday is dwarfing turnout in the Democratic Caucuses today. Unless there is something strange in the numbers - which is possible, sometimes caucus math is weird - then this might be a bad sign in a state which has gone blue twice for Obama.

You think Maine is going to go Republican? No way. If that happens, I'll eat my shorts and post the video on AMT.

It wouldn't be a bet I would be eager to make, no. But these numbers tonight are surprising.

I will do the same. (Note to self, check on-line for edible undies... just in case).
Hopefully all the L.L. Beaners will have a strong turn out.

Where are you getting your numbers because turnout for today is very high...

The GOP numbers dwarf the Democratic numbers with 80% of the vote counted. The parties may be counting differently though which would help explain it.

These numbers don't really mean anything for predicting how Maine will go in November. About 600,000 Mainers will vote in Nov. Less than 20,000 participated in the caucus.

It does (potentially) show a huge enthusiasm gap between the two parties. The numbers aren't close.
Wow. MSNBC reporter just got caught on live TV working out what questions they were going to ask Clinton's communication director. Maybe that's routine but it was a BAD look.

Yeah I wish they did the voice disclosures like at the end of prescription drug commercials. Nausea light headedness....Hillary may cause suicidal thoughts...

This has to be another case of the Dems using the odd "delegate equivalents" system we heard about in Iowa. It can't be straight one man/one vote totals. The numbers don't match the pictures.
Is having a basic ID (not even a driver's license) such a preposterous notion?
Preposterous never. May not be as easy or as affordable to some then others. What are the requirements to get the basic ID? Where? HOW MUCH? Etc...
I just checked. Here in California, go to the DMV (you can make an appointment at most locations), fill out the application (or can get it online), have your thumbprint and photo taken, and pay $28. Provide birth certificate or similar documentation. Not too much to do. I managed this feat in my teens, without assistance other than a ride to the DMV.
Agree with jeff's comments as well. Logical, as usual.
And I'm not sure the ticket pick-up example is unequatable - to me, it illustrated that something as simple and innocuous as acquiring concert tickets via the 10C requires ID. Most here are good with that scenario, unless I'm mistaken.
That another something so much more important (I'd hope! To me, at least, it is) would require the same isn't over the top...or is it, really, to some?
28 dollars buys a dozen eggs, a few loaves of bread, peanut butter and jelly, and more. A trip to the DMV is a pain in the ass for everyone, those who don't drive even more so. There is no doubt that it diacpurages a greater number of people from voting than the number who try to commit voter fraud.
"birth certificate or other similar such doc" is also barrier for many.

Absolutely, and rarely do you get a correct answer when you call (any administrative body public or private) and ask which documents you will need and where to go with them.

Vermont goes to Bernie.
Tonight Maine goes to Bernie.
It would be a clear pattern in New England if Massachusetts hadn't screwed it up.
