Brian Duff quoted in story on gubernatorial candidate Shawn Moody

Brian Duff, Ph.D., associate professor of political science, was quoted in a Sept. 22, 2010 Bangor Daily News profile of independent Maine gubernatorial candidate Shawn Moody, who has only been drawing single digits in the polls.  Duff said the reality is that independents have a more difficult time making headway in a gubernatorial campaign. “A candidate like Moody can have an impact on a race like this by being very articulate on an issue and forcing the other candidates to respond,” Duff said. “But something big would have to happen to have Moody be in the Top 3 in the race.”
