Obama likely to win Maine by 20-30% (it's a caucus)
Because Maine is a CAUCUS and Hillary rarely wins caucuses, and Obama usually wins caucuses by a humongous margin, he will win tomorrow in Maine by 20-30%.

Anything less than that would be a victory for Hillary.

3. Didn't Obama greatly exceed expectations in Alabama?
Why can't it happen in Maine?

In caucuses, Obama is likely to win by large margins. The evidence says so.

14. Look how far the mighty have fallen...
Hillary is so inevitable that Obama has to win a state, that she led in as late as last month by double digits, by TWENTY OR THIRTY POINT lest it be considered a failure for Obama.

Is this not the most ridiculous thread you've ever read?

12. Surely you jest?
New England has been relatively strong for Clinton, so I'd expect her to win or at least do well. I have heard/seen nothing that would indicate an Obama blowout there.

Your statement is ridiculous.

15. Any candidate seriously believing that they should lose by that much at this point in the race...
should concede the race.

16. not really
Nice try, but NE is Senator Clinton's strongest region. She's going to win, 2-5 points I think.
