Quote of the Day
"I'm not naïve; I didn't fall off the turnip truck...I just feel there's no reason not to vote for him and no reason not to support him. After reading everything, maybe some of the folks close to him have got some problems. But he happens to be the victim of circumstance, that's all."
-- State Rep. James R. Miceli (D-Wilmington) on re-electing Salvatore DiMasi as speaker on Wednesday.
