 Ron Paul delivers a fiery speech after the Maine caucus results

Ron Paul performed well in Maine's caucuses Saturday night. Ron Paul, who registers well with the libertarian-leaning voters of the Pine Tree State, garnered 36% of the vote, nearly tying Mitt Romney at 39% for first place.

Despite the apparent loss, all is not settled quite yet. 5% of the votes still have yet to be cast, as some precincts in rural northeastern Maine decided to hold off their caucuses until next weekend due to snow. Several of the precincts are pro-Ron Paul, which could bode well for the congressman and allowfor a victory in Maine.
