FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The former Massachusetts governor won 39 percent of the vote Saturday, Maine Republican Party chairman Charlie Webster announced.
Libertarian Texas congressman, Ron Paul, ended up in the second place with 36 percent, after a strong campaigning presence in the state.
The third-place finisher in the Maine caucuses was former senator Rick Santorum, who received 18 percent of the vote while former House speaker Newt Gingrich came in last with eight percent.
The Maine vote is considered a beauty contest, but the win gave the bounce Romney needed as frontrunner after he lost Colorado, Missouri and Minnesota to Santorum earlier this week.
“This is an unofficial, non-binding poll that just simply shows a snapshot or takes a current pulse of which presidential candidate has the most support at the participating caucuses throughout the state,” Webster said.
Romney also won a straw poll earlier on Saturday among participants at a major conservative gathering in Washington, polling 38 percent of the vote above Santorum’s 31.
Unlike Paul, Romney had not spent much time in Maine, but visited the state on Friday to rally supporters and forestall another defeat, which could have further marred his candidacy bid.
