"In 1988, as an unknown candidate, totally unknown, I won Iowa, came in second in New Hampshire, won South Dakota. I was ahead in every Super Tuesday state the day after South Dakota.

-- Dick Gephardt

Two months ago a neighbour told her about your blog, and she asked me to buy her one of those thingummyjigs â€“ by a thingummyjig she meant a computer. And since then, thanks to your trimmings, your ribbon bows, your tie-backs for curtains, sheâ€™s rediscovered the joys of life. So donâ€™t tell me you donâ€™t know any answers.”
