Maine Democratic Presidential Caucuses took place on February 10 , 2008 , and had 24 delegates at stake . The winner in each of Maine 's two congressional districts received all of that district 's total delegates , which totaled 16 . Another eight delegates were awarded to the statewide winner , Barack Obama , at the Maine Democratic Party Statewide Convention on May 31 , 2008 . These 24 delegates represented Maine at the Democratic National Convention in Denver , Colorado . Another 10 unpledged delegates , known as superdelegates , also attended the convention and cast their votes as well . Although Maine technically sent 24 pledged delegates to the Democratic National Convention , John Knutson , the superdelegate Chairman of the Maine Democratic Party , had pledged to support whoever won the majority of the vote , making the total number of pledged delegates effectively 25
