Cope Candidates Elected

Famous quotes containing the words cope, candidates and/or elected:

    See, in the Navy, during the war, I got used to the idea that something might happen to me, I might not make it. Well, I also got used to the idea that my wife and children were safe at home, they’d be all right no matter what. But what I didn’t reckon with was that in this, this kind of a monstrous war, something might happen to them, and not to me. Well it did, and I can’t, I can’t cope with it.
    John Paxton (1911–1985)

    The idea that you can merchandise candidates for high office like breakfast cereal—that you can gather votes like box tops—is, I think, the ultimate indignity to the democratic process.
    Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)

    The first lady is, and always has been, an unpaid public servant elected by one person, her husband.
    Lady Bird Johnson (b. 1912)
