LePage Campaign Gets Badly Needed Media Help

[1]

The LePage campaign has announced [2] that they're bringing on some outside help. Dan Demeritt will be joining their team as press secretary and "will be the campaign's initial point of contact for press inquiries."

Judging by LePage's recent series of outbursts and gaffes, I imagine that much of this job will involve repeating the phrase "what Mayor LePage meant to say was..."

If anyone can handle LePage's "hot" and "fresh" public persona it's likely Demerritt, who owns a small chain of pizza restaurants [3] in Augusta in addition to his past work as communications director for the House Republicans.
