RESULTS FROM MAIN REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES

Donna Garner

Romney – 39%

Ron Paul – 36%

Santorum – 18%

Gingrich – 6%

Total of anti-Romney vote: 60%

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a prominent voice among some conservatives, said Romney has work to do to convince GOP voters he’s moved beyond his “pretty moderate past … even in some cases a liberal past.”

“I am not convinced, and I do not think the majority of GOP and independent voters are convinced,” Palin said on Fox News Sunday.

Santorum raised $3 Million in the three days after his sweep in Colorado, Missouri, and Minnesota.

The Maine vote totals reflected about 84 percent of the state’s precincts, with nearly 5,600 Republicans voting out of 258,000 registered.

That brings the official delegate count to 123 for Romney, 72 for Santorum, 32 for Gingrich and 19 for Paul, with 1,144 delegates needed for the nomination.
