Election Quotations
I just owe almost everything to my father and it's passionately interesting for me that the things that I learned in a small town, in a very modest home, are just the things that I believe have won the election.
Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher
How did we win the election in the year 2000? We talked about a humble foreign policy: No nation-building; don't police the world. That's conservative, it's Republican, it's pro-American - it follows the founding fathers. And, besides, it follows the Constitution.
Ron Paul
In the end, that's what this election is about. Do we participate in a politics of cynicism or a politics of hope?
Barack Obama
If everybody that voted in 2008 shows up in 2010, we will win this election. We will win this election.
Barack Obama
It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.
Joseph Stalin
In every election in American history both parties have their cliches. The party that has the cliches that ring true wins.
Newt Gingrich
Every election is a sort of advance auction sale of stolen goods.
H. L. Mencken
An election is coming. Universal peace is declared, and the foxes have a sincere interest in prolonging the lives of the poultry.
George Eliot
Each party steals so many articles of faith from the other, and the candidates spend so much time making each other's speeches, that by the time election day is past there is nothing much to do save turn the sitting rascals out and let a new gang in.
H. L. Mencken
