Boca Raton, Florida (CNN) - Restore Our Future, the Super PAC supporting Mitt Romney, has reserved television airtime in Maine beginning later this week, according to a Republican source tracking media buys.

The group plans to air $300,000 worth of ads in the Bangor, Presque Isle and Portland-Auburn markets, the latter of which also covers parts of New Hampshire, from Oct. 25 through Oct. 29.

The move suggests Romney allies see Maine's 2nd Congressional District, which encompasses the state's northern reaches, as fertile ground for the Republican.

Maine allocates its electoral votes by congressional district, and winning a single vote there could be a factor in a tight race.

Gay...it’s a smart move for Mittster.
Maine is full of welfare leeches in the southern part...Angus King D.ME running for Governor is getting money from Bloomberg and some former hedgefund henchman of Millken’s sorry I forgot his name, he’s from SF.

It was on the Howie Carr Show WRKO Boston on Friday afternoon.

King got an enormous amount of money from the Gay Mayor and his cronies just two weeks ago!

King is the “former” Governor. Rather popular for giving out food stamps and such.

Great move. Romney has be attacking two or more states at a time on a regular basis. ME and NH, PA, OH, and WV, plus VA and NC (next week). He also had an ad buy, along with Crossroads and the NRA for the Iowa-Penn State game last Saturday. That not only hits PA and Iowa, but Big Ten fans from MI, WI, MN, and OH. I smell a chess player ... Attacking in combination.

Which is precisely why their legislatures will never do so.
