Florida's Not the 'Maine Event' for Ron Paul

Republican presidential hopeful Congressman Ron Paul of Texas is downplaying the Florida primary on Tuesday to focus on other states. After the debate in Jacksonville on Thursday night, Paul is heading up to Maine, which holds its caucus from Feb. 4-11.

Paul will campaign in Bangor, Waterville and Lewiston on Friday and will hit Gorham, Freeport and Alfred on Saturday.

Most polls have Paul in the high single digits in the Sunshine State and he took less than 3.25 percent in the 2008 primary. He did better in Maine, taking third place with 18.25 percent. Mitt Romney, who is leading in the polls in Florida, won Maine with more than 51.6 percent in 2008.
