Maine Democratic Party Announces Obama Winner Of Caucus 
 Sunday, February 10th, 2008 

CNN and other media outlets reported their projected winners of the Republican Caucuses on February 2nd, with Mitt Romney at 52% (who has since withdrawn), John McCain at 21%, Ron Paul at 19%, and Mike Huckabee at 6%; however, the Maine GOP has not yet released final numbers since all delegates' votes haven't been reported, so we still don't know the true winner of Maine (which is deja vu from Louisiana).

The Maine Democratic Party, however, released their final results almost immediately, with Barack Obama winning the most amount of delegates at 2,079, and Hillary Clinton second with 1,396.  18 delegates were uncommitted, 3 chose other candidates that were not disclosed, and 5% still have to report, but will not be able to sway Obama's win.

Why are the GOP state parties so much slower than the Democrats?
