Ron Paul probably had to make a pragmatic decision -- how much money for lawyers etc. to take on the GOP establishment in Maine, through what might be a protracted court fight, for a pretty small reward, versus what that money could do in states that haven't voted yet.

His goal is to get the maximum number of delegates. He has limited resources and has to prioritize. I've been ripped off by various businesses (I'm currently most steamed about the thieves at Hewlett-Packard), but I simply decided it wasn't worth pursuing.
