Ron Paul said Monday he is hoping for "a grand showing"

Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul said Monday he is hoping for "a grand showing" in this weekend's three day Maine Republican caucuses. Stopping at the State House on a brief visit to the state, Paul was enthusiastically cheered by supporters throughout a rally that drew more than 150 people.

Sounding his themes of less government and more freedom, the Texas congressman said he is optimistic about many things happening in the country, but pessimistic about its leadership.

Paul is viewed as a longshot candidate nationally, but state Republican Party Executive Director Julie O'Brien says his supporters may have been the most active in Maine.
