shots cheap-shots
I don't like cheap shots, I really don't.
republican politician feminine
Are Republican women politicians more feminine than Democratic women politicians?
mother father mountain
When a father climbs a dangerous mountain and dies, we mourn. When a mother does, we question her judgment. How could she?
winning presidential election
In most presidential elections, the taller candidate wins.
sports fun animal
Violent predators are not like the rest of us. They kill for fun, for sport, for the sake of it. To compare them to animals is an insult to animals. To expect that we can rehabilitate them assumes a will to change.
soul president vices
Perhaps the cruelest thing ever said of Hubert Humphrey was that he had the soul of a vice president.
party nuts people
Most people don't know who Ken Mehlman is. He's the chairman of the Republican Party, obviously, but what he's doing that Howard Dean isn't doing is spending a lot of time on the nuts and bolts of putting the party together.
giving speech behind-you
When you're standing in front of an audience like this that is so enthusiastic and so much behind you, it is very hard to give a bad speech. Even a bad speech sounds good in a convention hall like this.
fall winning opportunity
The Olympics are coming... and it's a big problem in American politics, because the problem with holding the Olympics this fall is that we're all going to be focused on the Olympics, and it makes that window of opportunity for Gore to win the election that much smaller.
risk trials verdict
One of the risks of a public trial is a public verdict.
air worry shooting
I cant begin to count how many times I have warned politicians and candidates to worry as much about the good coverage as the bad, because the more air they put in your balloon, the bigger the target when they start shooting.
hate people negative
People hate negative tactics, but the fact is, as the 3 A.M. ad demonstrates, they can be very effective.
moving time-to-move-on action
Affirmative action was never meant to be permanent, and now is truly the time to move on to some other approach.
grateful other-half too-much
Half of me knows too much to be carefree. But the other half knows enough to be grateful.
