Brian Duff interviewed by Portland Press Herald about crowded Maine gubernatorial primary

Brian Duff, Ph.D., assistant professor of political science, was quoted in a May 25, 2010 Portland Press Herald story on the lack of a front runner in the crowded Maine gubernatorial primary races. "Maine’s a small state and nobody does any real primary polling, noted Brian Duff, a political scientist at the University of New England. 'In a way, it’s kind of nice,' Duff said. 'We can have a real democratic (in the small ‘d’ sense) contest.'"
