The face of Gov. Paul LePage sells, at least if you're the Maine People's Alliance trying to recruit summer workers for progressive campaigning.

"I'd say this is our best one, I don't think we've actually ever put the face of a governor on one of our posters before," noted Ben Chin, political engagement director for the Maine People's Alliance.

A leading conservative group in Maine says it doesn't need to print faces of unpopular politicians to make a point, but for the progressive alliance, a flyer bearing the Republican governor's grinning face is being used to muster canvas workers — and effectively, organizers say.

"So far we're on track to have a really big summer," said Chin.
