11. In 2012 the Maine Republican/teabagger caucuses were a DISASTER!

Most of this because Charley Webster, their state chair at the time, was DETERMINED to have Willard win, even though an apparent majority (or pluality) supported someone else. If I recall, little Ricky Santorum's supporters moved to Ron Paul or the other way around. Webster would have NONE of anybody but Willard winning, by hook or by (typical of the R/ts) crook. Maine Republicans/teabaggers looked foolish coast to coast, which is pretty easy for them to do in this era of Paul LePage.

PEACE!
