Quote of the Day
October 9, 2008
"I am calling on Governor O'Malley to order his campaign to cease and desist with the negative attacks. It is my bet that the people of this great state are sick of the empty promises, tired of the lies, and ready to fight back against the corrosive influences of tainted money and Karl Rove-style politics."
- Comptroller Peter Franchot, speaking out against "swift-boat" style ads concerning the Maryland slots initiative.
