http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-ron-paul-maine-20120507,0,2466313.story Romney was declared the winner in the caucuses back in February when not everyone had a chance to cast a ballot before the results were announced, and a snowstorm forced the cancellation of some caucuses, including one in a Paul stronghold. However, the delegates are selected at the state convention and not in the caucuses - and Ron Paul got 21out of the 24 delegates at the convention as well as a majority of the state committee seats. Charles Cragin, a Romney supporter, called the turn of events "bizarre."
