Bayliss Wagner, Lisa Lerer, and Theodore Schleifer report on how Mainers are about to be bombarded:

Ms. Collins is relying on a web of deep-pocketed outside groups, funded largely by billionaire megadonors, to spend tens of millions of dollars on advertising promoting her and attacking the Democratic nominee. Her campaign, her allies and other groups aligned with Senate Republican leadership have already reserved about $60 million in airtime through the fall, according to the media tracking firm AdImpact.  [emphasis added]

That is far more than the roughly $24 million that Senate Democrats’ main super PAC and its affiliates have allocated to ads in Maine, though more could be on the way.

Turn off your damn TV and meet the real Susan Collins!  An expert on human psychology.
