In anticipation of the Republican caucus' to be held Feb. 4 – 11 across the state, presidential candidate Ron Paul will be speaking for an hour at the USM campus this Saturday. Despite the recent campaigning across the border in New Hampshire, Maine has thus far gotten little attention in the race for the nomination. With the contest more up for grabs since Newt Gingrich's surprise surge in South Carolina, it's possible that Paul's visit could be an indication of a renewed focus from the Republican frontrunners on the Pine Tree state.
