Michaud s ad features the headline House Passes Michaud Amendment Requiring 100% Made-in-USA Uniforms under a State News Services banner styled to resemble the front page of a newspaper.

Reinholt criticized a TV ad by the Republican Governors Association that claims Michaud supports giving welfare to illegal immigrants. A letter was sent last Wednesday to TV stations, asking them to pull the ad, she said.

THREE KNUCKLEBALLERS IN THE PARK
−
In the letter, Philip Saucier, an attorney for the Michaud campaign at the Portland law firm Bernstein Shur, said the ad made three false claims: Michaud did not say he supports welfare for illegal immigrants in the article cited by the ad; the cost estimate of $1 million does not stand up to scrutiny, <a href=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php>Cheap Christian Louboutin</a>  because it includes costs for asylum- and refugee-seekers who are here legally; and a claim that Maine would be more attractive to illegal immigrants isn t sourced.

Dickey and Boston reliever Steven Wright both mostly throw knuckleballs and pitched in the game. Former Red Sox RHP Tim Wakefield watched from the press box. Wright pitched five shutout innings, allowing two hits.
−
Steve Carter, <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php> michael kors outlet</a>  station manager of WCSH in Portland, said the Federal Communications Commission prohibits stations from censoring political ads that are paid for and authorized by candidates. Those rules don t apply to ads purchased by outside groups, but Carter said the station has reviewed the complaint about the RGA ad and will not take it down.
+
−
Station managers at WGME in Portland and WMTW in Auburn did not respond to requests for comment.
+
−
James Melcher, a political science professor at the University of Maine in Farmington, doesn t believe the ad criticized by the Republican Party should be pulled, because many ads use fake mastheads. He said Republicans could be making a tactical decision to criticize Michaud, since the RGA ad has come under fire by Michaud s campaign and a recent Portland Press Herald editorial.
+
−
This could be an attempt to deflect attention from that, trying to make people say Look, the Michaud campaign is just as misleading, Melcher said. But I really don t think this critique will stick.
+
−
Brewer, however, believes that if the Republican criticism is true, the Michaud campaign ought to edit the ad.
+
−
I think it makes perfectly good sense for the Republicans to do this, given that it s not the first time Michaud kind of stepped in this stuff, Brewer said.
