Paul, Romney Showdown In Maine

Merav Yaakov of Manchester, N.H., hold signs in support of Republican presidential candidate, Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, outside a scheduled event for Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, at the Pinkerton Academy in Derry, N.H. Romney and Ron Paul rarely acknowledge each other in the Republican presidential race, focusing their attention and attacks on rivals Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum instead. That curious detente will be tested in Maine's caucuses Saturday, where Romney's reputation as a political shape shifter is set to go head-to-head with Paul's quirky but consistent set of libertarian beliefs.

Question: As you know, Kootenai County is a Ron Paul stronghold. Do you think Ron Paul will best Romney in Idaho? Or will Santorum be a factor here by then?
