Mitt Romney has won the Maine Republican caucus with a weak victory. Romney won the caucus with 2,190 votes, nearly 700 votes less than he received when he won that caucus in 2008.
Another warning sign for Romney: His margin of victory over second-place finisher Ron Paul was a mere 194 votes. Paul is viewed widely as a fringe candidate, boosted by many internet-based conspiracy theorists.
Romney also won the straw poll today at the far right CPAC gathering in Washington, D.C.
Recent polls have shown Romney performing weakly against President Obama, losing by 10% in a Rasmussen poll and by 5% in a Fox News poll.
