This is no big surprise. Maine is close to Sanders' home state of Vermont, it's 95% White, and it held a caucus instead of a primary -- all qualities that make it seem tailor-made for Sanders.
It's not a delegate-rich state though, with only 25 of its 30 delegates up for grabs through the caucuses. Sanders will probably get about 16-17 of those delegates, and Clinton will get about 8-9 delegates. That means Sanders will only make up about 7-9 delegates on Clinton's already large lead in delegates.
The campaign voting now goes to Michigan and Mississippi on Tuesday -- states where Clinton has a significant lead in the polls.
Here are the results of the Maine caucuses:
Hillary Clinton...............1232 (35.5%)
Bernie Sanders...............2231 (64.3%)
Here are the updated delegate totals:
Hillary Clinton...............1130
Bernie Sanders...............499
American school shoes did not require duct tape repairs. Oligarchs view anything individuals do, internet or patents, as trolls. We should federally regulate all real estate and insurance, since they crashed the economy. Since the Constitution demands a federal post office, the government must also own all electricity and internet. Jimmy Carter and Peter Grace, both Democrats, cut the capital gains tax, fueling the birth of Amgen, Apple, Genentech and Microsoft while Carter was still president. But Reagan raised the capital gains tax, fueling an LBO craze which offshored manufacturing to China. Oligarchs are afraid technology will lessen their ability to control us, which is why Reagan wanted everyone to use IBM mainframes when microcomputers were born. Now all of Reagan's economists are whoring for China. Obama brought manufacturing back to the USA but oligarchs want to give those jobs to the offshore workers they bring here. Why do forign governments get haircuts and we can't reduce the compounded usury interest which comprises the majority of our debt, while banks charge us negative interest for savings. Most great modern inventions are actually thousands of years old, but our patent system made them usable for the benefit of humanity, so now the oligarchs want to ruin our patent system! Night vision can see though hoodies but oligarch control freaks would rather we freeze our ears off. It's time to put all the tea birch militias on their own reservations so they can be museums like the Amish and the Indians. Osama was the ultimate faith-based initiative, which is why we should federally license and psychiatrically regulate all churches. Paul's word for fornication meant prostitution instead. Pauls' word for masturbation meant malady instead. Paul's word for sycophant meant slander. Moneychangers were racist about Roman coins. Meek means tranquil, not humble. Augustine made pre-quick abortion a misdemeanor. THeir misunderstanding ad hominem to mean ad personam is itself ad hominem. Oligarch casuistry tries to change the meaning of words, redefine the rules! Bill Donohue said "Muslims are right to be angry" after the Charlie Hebdo massacre. Before the hostages, Jerry Falwell thought that Khomeni had to be pretty good because he was a fellow "fundamentalist". Why are all the Black Muslims Republicans? Osama was the ultimate faith-based initiative, which is why we should federally license and psychiatrically regulate all churches.
