Brewer Interviewed About Romney Ads in Maine

University of Maine political scientist Mark Brewer was interviewed for a Channel 7 (WVII) news report about the Republican presidential campaign buying advertising airtime in Maine to support candidate Mitt Romney. Brewer said if voter preferences are decisive it may not make a difference, but in a close race, the extra advertising possibly could mean one more Electoral College vote. In any case, Brewer said, advertising in Maine is cheap compared to other states, which makes it worthwhile if a campaign can afford it.
