The New York Times reports that the McCain campaign is halting all new advertising in five states, including Maine, and will instead be stretching currently committed spending over the last two weeks of the campaign. The money saved will go to ad buys in Pennsylvania, Florida, and Indiana.

The RNC pulled out of Maine last week.

Looks like it's up to the Maine Republican Party to hold down the sleaze fort. The Press Herald reported today that they've sent out a flier which features a mugshot of William Ayers and the words "Terrorist. Radical. Friend of Obama."
