Bangor News results. NYT link.

No 14969 54.60%
Yes 12446 45.40%
9:38 EST - with 17% of precincts in, but evidently a higher pct of voters, it looks like it's going to be close:
No 37801 51.30%
Yes 35892 48.70%
9:50 EST - all the servers I'm watching are getting hammered. The Bangor Daily News seems to be reloading with obsolete numbers. "Open" "Left" is down a lot.
9:52 EST - with 22% of precincts in:
No 56659 50.62%
Yes 55267 49.38%
10:21 EST - Data insanity breaks out:

10:41 EST The NYT has somewhat different, perhaps newer, results (yay!):
No - 97,182 51.0%
Yes - 93,502 49.0
10:45 EST - ouch (NYT). Too bad we couldn't find a really big name Dem to help out, huh?:
37% reporting
Yes - 108,799 50.0%
No - 108,762 50.0
11:08 EST - 49% reporting. The WH said BHO's not watching the results. Sure. My bet is he's hoping like he's never hoped before that he didn't fuck this up with his lack of leadership.
Yes - 142,916 50.4%
No - 140,783 49.6
11:14 EST - oddly the top BHO blogs are pushing wishful data, not the usual hard projections about whose counties are in or not. They've gone down hill for some reason.
11:22 EST - 60% reporting. Have I mentioned that I can always count of Obama to let me down? I soooo want to be wrong about this guy on something important.
Yes - 182,360 51.6%
No - 171,171 48.4
11:44 EST - not good. With close to 2/3 in, the spread is 3.6%. An identical replay of Prop. 8. Obama won Maine in the general election 58/40. A caucus state, he "won" it over Hillary 68/32.
Yes - 201,616 51.8%
No - 187,699 48.2
12:05 EST - 75% reporting
Yes - 227,360 52.1%
No - 208,743 47.9
Ana Marie Cox tweets:
Things now looking even grimmer in Maine... 76% in, @nomtweets asshats up 52/47.8 (Thanks, Obama, for all the help!)
A short while ago, she re/tweeted:
RT @twpolk If Gays lose in ME by such tight margin, the blame will falls on DNC, OFA and Obama. // Sadly, I think they all know that.
I guess it's cold comfort that a netroots cw purveyor like Ana Marie sees things the same way the real world does. |
