All of the candidates agree that the Democratic Party needs to undergo fundamental reforms.
Martin Frost

And the political system is changing rapidly in this country, and we better realize that. The elephants or donkeys are not what younger people look to. They look at individual candidates' philosophy, and I think it's a different time and a different generation.
Richard M. Daley

Apparently, a democracy is a place where numerous elections are held at great cost without issues and with interchangeable candidates.
Gore Vidal

As a head-hunter I get a lot of satisfaction from seeing my candidates do well and therefore my clients happy. I want to work with clients more as a partner than simply a head-hunter.

Bill and Hillary Clinton have one central idea in their uncluttered, ambitious minds: Hillary in 2008. Let Bush get re-elected, use the '04 primaries and general election to clean out the underbrush of competing Democratic candidates, and proceed unimpeded to the '08 nomination.
Dick Morris

But when I was selected, after my very first tour of squadron duty, to become one of the youngest candidates for the test pilot school, I began to realize, maybe you are a little bit better.

H. L. Mencken

God has called us to be His representatives in our nation and in our world. Select candidates who represent your views and work for their election.
James Dobson

He has selected from a group of overwhelming candidates. This candidate was nominated to the Supreme Court because of his extremely overwhelming qualifications.
Rod Parsley

I am committed to ensure that our 2008 Republican presidential candidates forthrightly address issues of importance to the African-American community.
Ken Mehlman

I consider my voice to be a centrist moderate voice among the nine Democratic candidates.
Bob Graham

I don't think the American people, if you look historically, elect angry candidates.
Ken Mehlman

I don't think voters give a hoot about the character of their political advisors, except to the extent that character reflects on the candidates.
Bob Woodward

I guess you'd call me an independent, since I've never identified myself with one party or another in politics. I always decide my vote by taking as careful a look as I can at the actual candidates and issues themselves, no matter what the party label.
Jackie Robinson

I haven't got the slightest idea how to change people, but still I keep a long list of prospective candidates just in case I should ever figure it out.
David Sedaris
