Popular Candidate

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or candidate:

“You seem to think that I am adapted to nothing but the sugar-plums of intellect and had better not try to digest anything stronger.... a writer of popular sketches in magazines; a lecturer before Lyceums and College societies; a dabbler in metaphysics, poetry, and art, than which I would rather die, for if it has come to that, alas! verily, as you say, mediocrity has fallen on the name of Adams.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

“The Republicans have a “me too” candidate running on a “yes but” platform, advised by a “has been” staff.”
