Quote of the Day
"Even before I announced my candidacy, however, leading Republicans had already made it clear that they supported the Democrat. As a 14-year legislator and a 28-year Marine, I believe I presented an experienced, qualified alternative. What happened to loyalty being valued in our party before money, jobs or influence?"
-State Sen. Joe Kenney (R-Wakefield) arguing that state Republicans did not support his campaign against Gov. John Lynch.
