Wow! We have our Richmond, Maine, results ahead of 7:30 pm.

The turnout was incredible. Three times as many people showed up as we've ever had. They filled up the Town Office and we had to shift over to the Fire House community room, 109 people plus a few observors and babies in arms. And there was snow incoming all afternoon and evening.

We get 7 delegates to the State Democratic Convention, held at the end of May

5 will be for Obama
2 will be for Clinton

When I reported the results to State headquarters they said that turnouts were record-breaking all over the State.

Richmond is a relatively conservative town evenly split between Democrats, Republicans, and Independents, with a few Green Party members in addition.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
