TODAYS QUICK QUOTE

West Virginia Allen H. Loughry's book "Don't Buy Another Vote, I Won't Pay for a Landslide," discusses the state's history of vote buying and selling. The quote in the book's title was uttered by Joe Kennedy during the 1960 West Virginia presidential primary, the run by John F. Kennedy. "Many people think the Kennedy family was responsible for introducing vote buying to West Virginia, that's not the case," Loughry said. "The Kennedys didn't invent vote buying; they were just playing by West Virginia's rules."
