Quote of the Day
July 25, 2008
"I don't think it follows logically or factually from the facts that Senator McCain was on the ballot and eventually got the nomination of the Republican Party that your vote was somehow undermined."
-- U.S. District Court Judge Joseph LePlante on his ruling against a legal challenge filed by Fred Hollander, a Nashua resident, who claimed that since John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone, he was ineligible to run for president.
