You obviously do not understand the Maine Caucus system.
One reason for the low turn out was the distances people had to drive to get to a caucus. My father, who lives in Maine, would have had to drive about 50 miles and wait around all day just to vote. It's not like a regular election where you just go down to your town hall and vote.
And as to Obama getting "like 100,00 votes" here is a quote from the Maine Democratic Caucus results from 2008.
"With 79 percent of the participating precincts reporting, Obama led in state delegates elected over Clinton, 1,817 to 1,263, with 17 uncommitted.."
A Caucus turns out activists in the party. They should all be primaries. Most people that pay attention will vote in a primary but very few will Cuacus and listen to some blithering idiot for hours before they vote. They have lives.

LOL!!
I bet since you are a Liberal, you don't even know the difference between a general election and a caucus.

Because in this weather, that's half the population of Maine that was willing to go outdoors.
