leaders choose to make themselves bidders at an auction of
popularity, their talents, in the construction of the state,

of legislators; the instruments, not the guides, of the

-- Edmund Burke
1729-1797, British Political
Writer, Statesman
Do not run a
campaign that would embarrass your mother.
-- Robert C. Byrd
We have a
presidential election coming up. And I think the big
problem, of course, is that someone will win.
-- Barry Crimmins
You campaign
in poetry. You govern in prose.
-- Mario Cuomo
