“Numerous candidates lose their first White House race and try again four years later - but all of them do so after running surprisingly well the first time. No one ever talked about John Connally or Phil Gramm running again.”

“I have a specialization in a very particular area: the presidential primary process.”

“I learned you just need to know people who know how to tie ties, and they'll tie them for you, and you can just put them on and take them off.”

“Conservatives looking at presidential candidates have to ask what kind of leader they want sitting in the White House.”

“It is undeniably the duty of the opposition party to field a credible slate of candidates for the nation's highest office.”

“In every election cycle that I can recall, there comes a moment - or a few - where charges of elitism and claims of commonness are wielded by presidential candidates like a sword and shield: 'Vote for me 'cause I'm one of you. It's the other guy who's out of touch.'”
