ideas political voters
There is literally no such thing as an idea that cannot be expressed well and articulately to today's voters in thirty seconds.
political agendas sides
Yes' is a far more potent word than 'no' in American politics. By adopting the positions which animate the political agenda for the other side, one can disarm them and leave them sputtering with nothing to say.
fighting political vision
Like the battleships of old, omnibus programs present too tempting a target, too easily destroyed by a single attack, to make it through a fight.... It is through incremental change after change, step after step, that a statesman of today can vindicate a bold vision.
presidential political firsts
The typical presidential staff resents the vice-president even more than they do the first lady.
political campaigns damage
Rebut the negative, and the opposing campaign has not merely lost a skirmish, it has suffered almost irreparable damage. An effective rebuttal makes it hard for the campaign whose ad is destroyed to be believed about anything ever again.
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.
fighting keys political
In fighting scandal, the key is not to overreact.
political vision substitutes
There is no substitute for a clear vision and a decisive direction.
country thinking political
Leadership is a dynamic tension between where a politician thinks his country must go and where his voters want it to go.
party political doe
The opposing party rarely causes so much angst as does one's own.
decision political politician
The most basic decision a modern politician must make is whether to be aggressive or conciliatory.
