Peter Camejo General Musharraf needs my participation to give credibility to the electoral process, as well as to respect the fundamental right of all those who wish to vote for me. Benazir Bhutto Herr Schroder has conducted two electoral campaigns, and he is doing it again now, by not telling people what is really necessary. He keeps avoiding the difficult and uncomfortable issues, those that imply changes and therefore provoke discussions. Angela Merkel I don't for the life of me understand how anybody could contemplate the results of the 2000 election in the US and say that electoral politics doesn't matter any more, and that Ralph Nader was right when he said there is no difference between the two parties. Todd Gitlin I have just come out of an electoral experience with the people of my country in which I invited them to join me in a partnership for governance. Perry Christie I think it's very important that the United States keeps out of the local electoral process in Mexico. Vicente Fox I thought that that was an effort to inject a popular element, a democratic element into the selection of a person who, once he is selected and confirmed, is beyond electoral control. Stephen Breyer I would anticipate that the Electoral College will be held on the 13th of December, and our 20 electorate votes will go to the certified winner. Kenneth Blackwell I'm not ready to give you a clear answer on whether electoral politics holds any particular hope for progressives. It would mean that nothing I did ever mattered. Tom Hayden It seems to be impossible to hold a credible election without reforming the electoral system. Sheikh Hasina It's clear enough that there was substantial fraud in Ohio, thus delivering the Electoral College vote for President Bush. George Galloway Nothing is more unreliable than the populace, nothing more obscure than human intentions, nothing more deceptive than the whole electoral system. Marcus Tullius Cicero Power is action; the electoral principle is discussion. No political action is possible when discussion is permanently established. Honore De Balzac Presidents are elected not by direct popular vote but by 538 members of the Electoral College. Thomas E. Mann Require... electoral votes to be allocated in proportion to the popular votes. Robert A. Dahl Texas is now a cornerstone of the electoral college for Republicans. Ed Gillespie The great disadvantage of our present electoral system is that it freezes the pattern of politics, and holds together the incompatible because everyone assumes that if a party splits it will be electorally slaughtered. Roy Jenkins The legions of reporters who cover politics don't want to quit the clash and thunder of electoral combat for the dry duty of analyzing the federal budget. As a consequence, we have created the perpetual presidential campaign. Hugh Sidey The presidency is not an entry-level electoral job. John Podhoretz The Town Clerkship, however, was the means of giving me a lesson in electoral methods. Catherine Helen Spence |
