“OK, that doesn't scare you, but the Cheshire cat does?”
Winnie the Pooh
“It [the Cheshire Cat] vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone.”
Lewis Carroll
“Boy, do you know that the guy who did the voice for the Cheshire cat is the same guy who did the voice for Winnie the Pooh?”
“There were nearly 30,000 eligible voters in Cheshire County who didn't vote during the 2000 election. Bush won the state by a margin of 7,211 votes. Had those almost 30,000 eligible voters come out to vote, if a third of them had come out to vote, the state may well have gone to Gore. Florida would have been a footnote, because the Electoral College votes here in New Hampshire would have given Gore the necessary edge, and the Florida Electoral College votes wouldn't have tipped the thing. The Supreme Court would never have gotten involved.”
Rudy Perkins
“It was all about mission. We couldn't fix everything, but we could do something about Cheshire County. It required the discipline to stick to that one thing, to avoid drifting, to do it every single day. We needed to keep our volunteers on that same disciplined path - so many doors per day, a goal that can be accomplished. And it was hard. We got more than a few doors slammed in our faces. We walked miles and miles and miles.”
“Colby Davis and Michael Cheshire, the two returning linemen from last year who were in there tonight, I think they really took charge of the young kids.”
James Blankenship
“We have a lot of depth. To contend with Cheshire at states, we are going to have to have some kids that we don't really know about yet step up.”
