Romney still enjoys the Republicans’ traditional advantage among voters who are veterans, but the Obama campaign is confident it can chip away at that.
The public’s evaluation of the job George W. Bush is doing as president changed dramatically as a result of the horrific attacks of September 11 and his response in leading the country on a campaign against terrorism.
By 1980, when I came out of prison, The Sun did a campaign to stop putting vice girls in prison. We’ve talked about it ever since and nothing has been done about it.
Sometimes it’s important to vote – you know, to make a statement, to make a point; certainly, many of us who were involved in the Nader campaign in 2000 felt that way.
I have a record that I’m so very, very proud of, and no campaign is going to take that away.
I went to the Women’s Campaign School at Yale; I went to Eleanor Roosevelt Legacy Training, women’s campaign fund training. I got to know the district really well by talking to the county chair, getting to know politics, working on some local races.
When I was young, I wanted to be the face of a makeup campaign or a hair campaign, so that’s something that I’ve always dreamed of that hopefully comes along. And then obviously starring with Ryan Gosling in a movie wouldn’t be so bad, either.
Within days of Richard Nixon’s inauguration in January 1969, national-security adviser Kissinger asked the Pentagon to lay out his bombing options in Indochina. The previous president, Lyndon Baines Johnson, had suspended his own bombing campaign against North Vietnam in hopes of negotiating a broader cease-fire.
After all, Wall Street is clearly the most powerful lobbying force on Capitol Hill. From 1998 through 2008, the financial sector spent over $5 billion in lobbying and campaign contributions to deregulate Wall Street.
You have to try to build support around causes. It is uniting to campaign on a single issue, and it is never just a single issue; it’s always more than that.
If Trump’s actions as President reflect his campaign rhetoric, the ACLU and other capable organizations like it will be critical for defending the Bill of Rights for all Americans.
Western media present events in Russia in a thoroughly negative light. Yes, we have problems, and these need to be covered. But the fact remains that there is a propaganda campaign being waged against Russia. And this is disturbing.
The CIA’s drone campaign is extraordinarily effective, and the agency is getting progressively better at targeting senior leaders and disrupting their networks.
Republicans should be prepared to bolster their own grassroots efforts, keep promises made on the campaign trail and to fend off calculated, effective attacks from their progressive opponents.
Campaign boot camp started as an opportunity to work in a grassroots way with people who were running for Congress. Colleagues on the Democratic National Committee were batting around different possibilities. I said, ‘We should have boot camps.’
Lately, I’ve been playing very fashion-forward, popular girls, which is great because it’s led me to things like this Nintendo 3DS ‘Style Savvy’ campaign. It’d be fun to do something a bit dorkier – or quirkier!
If voters’ anger is the hallmark of the 2016 campaign, nothing has generated that anger as much as the establishment’s decade-long duplicity on immigration.
Both political parties, Republicans and Democrats, are dependent on the same private interest groups for campaign funds, so both parties dance to the same masters.
We didn’t realize it at the time, but the release date, the ad campaign and the poster are so important.
Campaign widowhood totally suited me, and I soon began to suspect that our setup beat the bill-paying and bickering of an actual marriage.
I made education the highest priority of my campaign – actually education and jobs – and the reason is a simple one: I think the future of America depends on it.
During the last campaign I knew what was happening. You know, they mocked me for my foreign policy and they laughed at my monetary policy. No more. No more.
The campaign is over. It’s time for the work of governing to begin.
I started my campaign out of a Trader Joe’s bag with a bunch of printed palm cards and an idea.
A disturbing prospect looms before us as Americans consider the possibility of a second term for President Barack Obama. Millions of conservatives who revere the Constitution, with its guarantees of freedom and limited government, have watched with alarm as the campaign season has unfolded.
I remember growing up and seeing Vanessa Hudgens’ Bongo campaign in magazines. I think I probably put a few of her posters on my wall, to be honest. I wore Bongo growing up, as did my older sister – I would get her hand-me-downs as well as my own new pieces when I went shopping.
During Seattle’s successful campaign for a $15 an hour minimum wage, our opponents would sometimes roll their eyes and snort, ‘If $15 is so good, why not $50?’ It was a straw man argument: Nobody was proposing a $50 minimum wage; it would have been too high, and we said so.
The code core of the 2001 browser upgrade campaign was the first instance of capability detection in place of browser detection.
Obama’s primary constituency was financial institutions. They were the core of the funding for his campaign. They expect to be paid back. And they were. They were paid back by coming out richer and more powerful than they were before the crisis that they created.
My first gig was a Corn Pops commercial. I did the first Vanilla Coke campaign. A Juicy Fruit commercial paid my bills for years.
When billionaires can give $50 million, $500 million to a campaign, and there’s no limit, then it makes a mockery of ‘one man, one vote.’
A lot of the ‘leave’ campaign was centered around a thinly veiled xenophobia, just ‘control our own borders.’ It’s not a good look. I don’t think it represents Britain; I don’t think it represents the U.K. all too well. It breaks my heart for my generation in Britain who are going to suffer.
Gray Davis can run a dirty campaign better than anyone, but he can’t run a state.
Anybody who is running a marathon or doing a walkathon, doing a fundraiser for their school, their company, by far it’s guaranteed the easiest and most fun way to quickly set up a fundraising campaign and send it around to your friends and family.
The Green Berets of U.S. Special Forces 5th Group – known as ‘the Legion’ – who led the anti-Taliban campaign represent a textbook case of a successful Special Forces campaign.
So long as war is the main business of nations, temporary despotism – despotism during the campaign – is indispensable.
Americans want to believe that we are a nation of laws, and no one is above them, including the president. Mr. Trump’s and his associates’ actions during his campaign and during his brief time in office are extremely troubling.
The pro-E.U. campaign is all too likely to be based on a fear of the unknown because in most people’s lifetime, we have never been out of the E.U.
The real truth is that the Obama administration is professional at bullying, as we have witnessed with ACORN at work during the presidential campaign. It seems to me they are sending down their bullies to create fist fights among average American citizens who don’t want a government-run health care plan forced upon them.
In the American League, there seems to have been an entire lack of any concerted campaign to build up a club in New York which should rival the Giants on an even basis.
Mitt Romney won the GOP nomination on a platform of ‘self-deportation’ for illegal immigrants – and the Obama team never let Hispanics forget it. The Obama campaign also branded Republicans with Romney’s ill-chosen words about 47 percent of Americans as the party of uncaring millionaires.
For Randy Neugebauer, the Texas Republican who chairs the investigations subcommittee, the top sources of funding for his 2012 reelection campaign are from the insurance, banking, finance, securities and real estate industries.
Chechens are Muslim, and some share the belief that the West is engaged in a global campaign against Islam.
I met Clinton during her husband’s first campaign for the White House. It was 1992, New Hampshire, and both Clintons had stopped at a coffee shop to greet the folks and get something to eat.
I have a question, a question for the president: Do you hate all rich people, or just rich people who don’t contribute to your campaign? Do you hate poor people or do you just hate poor people with jobs?
People used to complain that selling a president was like selling a bar of soap. But when you buy soap, at least you get the soap. In this campaign you just get two guys telling you they really value cleanliness.
Throughout my campaign for Congress, I promised the people of Northwest Georgia that I would be the strongest defender of gun rights on Capitol Hill.
When I started my campaign for Congress, I was one who people said, ‘Tulsi, you have a bright future, but there’s no way you can win.’
In my role as a spokesperson for Amnesty International U.S.A. and as a supporter of various charitable causes including Unlock Iran, a campaign to release prisoners of conscience in Iran, I have never been faced with the threat of intimidation or arrest.
During the campaign, Trump in many ways repudiated President Obama’s national security and foreign policy approach on issues like the Iran nuclear deal and immigration. So there’s a real question of continuity or disruption with Trump, which wouldn’t have existed if Clinton was president-elect.
