running keys political
The key to running a campaign on the cheap is to avoid spending money on anything other than projecting a message.
military issues political
Often GOP political strategy seems like the human wave theory of the Chinese military translated to politics. Where Beijing uses masses of soldiers to overwhelm their adversaries, the GOP uses huge campaign budgets as a substitute for strategy, thought or issues.
thinking light political
A politician can do what he thinks is right, he just has to be sophisticated in how he goes about it. Those who seek a president who 'will disregard the polls and just lead,' ask for the political equivalent of 'The Charge of the Light Brigade.'

running white political
The White House will run itself while the president is away. That's why he has to be sure not to be away too much.

political vision substitutes
There is no substitute for a clear vision and a decisive direction.

The opposing party rarely causes so much angst as does one's own.

winning support political
Today, a politician does not just need public support to win elections; he needs it to govern.
winning political election
Spin is overrated. It is strategy, not spin, that wins elections.
political television being-lied
The Darwinian adaptive trait of our time is the ability to figure out when we are being lied to on television.
