This Splendid Game is a fascinating read. -- L Sandy Maisel, Director, Goldfarb Center for Public Affairs and Civic Engagement, Colby College Chris Potholm's This Splendid Game gives specialists and general readers something that is long overdue-a detailed and incisive analysis of modern political campaigns in Maine by a scholar who has studied, taught, and worked in most of them. -- Christopher M.

Whether you pick up This Splendid Game to plan your run for Congress or just for the intrigue, you will come to believe Potholm's declaration on the first page, 'Politics in Maine is the way politics should be.' * Sun Journal * Maine's Foremost Political Guru! * Kennebec Journal * Packed with vibrant analysis. * Portland Press Herald * This Splendid Game is a splendid analysis. * Bangor Daily News *

Reseña del editor:

This Splendid Game offers a unique close-up examination of seminal U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and gubernatorial elections-and one referendum vote-in Maine. Potholm focuses especially on the dynamics of candidates' and groups' use of polling and the media.
