“If you want to live like a Republican, you have to vote for Democrats”
Richard Gephardt
“I have been thinking that I would make a proposition to my Republican friends... that if they will stop telling lies about the Democrats, we will stop telling the truth about them.”
Adlai E. Stevenson
“While Democrats have all the same vices as the Republicans, they are without the cunningness, viciousness, and genetic evil.”
Bobby W. Miller
“Democrats say Republican wins (statewide) have been a fluke. Republicans say it's a trend. We will have to see in November. It could be a trend if Republicans win again.”
James Gimpel
“The Democrats will take this as a moral victory in a heavily Republican district. In June, the Republicans will have an advantage in a head-to-head election, especially with the turnout likely to be higher because of the state primary.”
Jack Pitney
“The Republicans cannot hemorrhage among Republican, suburban women; they need those votes in '98 and 2000. And I think Democrats may come to need white men whether it's in '98 or 2000 or beyond.”
Stuart Rothenberg
“These are serious concerns about the Republican approach, ... Americans deserve answers independent of politics. That's why Democrats and Republicans preferred an independent commission for investigating 9/11 and we should be following that model now.”
Harry Reid
