So yeah, if you take a look at this list here, then based on what we just heard we can safely assume that any municipality outside of Washington County and Hancock County (though Aroostook County seems to have reported its totals as a countywide aggregate) that has a straight goose-egg vote tally probably reported a result inconsistent with the narrative that Maine GOP wanted to tell the voting public.  And for the sake of the integrity of the final total, I'm hoping that the chairs of those caucuses had the same foresight that Matt McDonald had and kept copies of the votes that they reported to state party headquarters.  We'll likely never know the real truth in Iowa (because if my memory serves me correctly, several precincts never provided audited and verified vote totals), and I'd hate to see that happen twice on the national stage.

It's not that I actually watch Rachel Maddow, nor that I necessarily think she has any special insight here.  But as it seems that she was the only one other than Ben Swann to make a story out of this, I think this is worth the 16-1/2 minutes:

I'm inclined to believe that Maddow (and the rest of the MSNBC journ-o-list crew) are all over this not for any altruistic motivation, but more likely because they believe that the more they make the Republican Party look like fools, the easier it will be for them to grease the skids for an Obama reelection.  What I find annoying is that the Rockefeller-bluebloods in the party's elite seem to be doing their damnedest to make their job easy.  Heaven forbid that Mittens the Heir-Apparent ride into his native state on a 4-game losing streak and try to win a primary in which the only real contest at present seems to be over who's going to finish in third.  Given how terribly it seems that he's going to do on Super Tuesday, why, the only republican candidate who can look like Obama may be forced to drop out before we actually get to the winner-take-all states.

It would seem that all of the pressure (internally and externally) has effectively shamed the Maine Republican Party into conducting a recount concurrent with the remaining caucus events that will be happening today.  Once again, we go to Ben Swann:

I don't know if the map that I embedded at the top of the original article will auto-update (ditto for the map that I'll embed below), so you may want to keep an eye on these links to the state-by-state aggregate map, the nationwide county-by-county map, and the Maine breakdown by county map.  It's going to get real interesting in Michigan, Arizona, and Washington State (not to mention the Super Tuesday states) if, come tomorrow morning, we have learned that Romney has lost yet another state that was originally reported as him having won.  I suspect that will put a major dent in the coronation narrative.
