I don't see a candidate on the scene right now, but it is going to have to be a candidate that people can look at as a leader and not as a man or a woman.
Julie Nixon Eisenhower

I don't think anyone should pick a candidate for any office based solely on gender. That would be, I believe, a mistake.
Jim Nussle

I don't want to be disrespectful of the president of the United States, but as a political person, one of the things I appreciated about this president, in the past year especially, is he is a fantastic candidate.
Ed Gillespie

I have absolutely no plans and no expectations of ever being a candidate again.
Al Gore

I have this to say to the people: go the polls and vote for the candidate of your choice... This is your responsibility; do not neglect it.
Hosni Mubarak

I never would have believed as a candidate for the U.S. Senate that the U.S. government could buy GM without a hearing, with no vote, yes or no. There are billions and billions of dollars at stake here.
Mike Johanns

I now announce myself as candidate for the Presidency. I anticipate criticism; but however unfavorable I trust that my sincerity will not be called into question.
Victoria Woodhull

I read the book with interest, but when Jackson was a candidate in 1828 for the Presidency, I opposed him and voted for Adams. I favored a protective tariff.
Ezra Cornell

I see it all the time in politics. If a candidate gets caught in a lie, he quickly tries to change the subject by throwing more mud at his opponent. The mud keeps flying until some of the slanderous material sticks.
Joe Scarborough

I still want to be the candidate for guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks. We can't beat George Bush unless we appeal to a broad cross-section of Democrats.
Howard Dean

I think I might as well give up being a candidate. There are so many people in the country who don't like me.
William Howard Taft

I think that women just have a primeval instinct to make soup, which they will try to foist on anybody who looks like a likely candidate.
Dylan Moran

I want to lead the Progressive Conservative Party, a party that will promote true conservative values and principles. I can tell you right now, I am not the merger candidate. I am not interested in institutional marriages with other parties.
Peter MacKay

I was the candidate first time a Green or any progressive third party has ever been in a national televised debate. I was in five of them. And the response from the public was overwhelming.
Peter Camejo

I was the first candidate to come out against this war, spoke at every anti-war march.
Al Sharpton

I would rather be the candidate of the NAACP than the NRA.
John F. Kerry

I'm not sure a candidate ever feels his message is getting out.
Scott McCallum

I'm not sure Lincoln would fare well if he were a presidential candidate today.

If you had found the right candidate in 2000 or 2004, and you could have put that man or woman, given them ballot access in September of the election year, they could have won the election.
Hamilton Jordan

In order to be a top-tier candidate, I need 7.5 million dollars, and I currently have 0.0 million dollars.
