Famous quotes by Matthew Dowd:

"After the Democratic nominee is all but certain in the late winter/early spring, it would not be surprising for us to fall behind for a bit,"

"Every incumbent president in the last 25 years has been behind the opposition in the latter part of his first term -- the sky is not falling."

"a chorus of 'the sky is falling.'"

"[Bush-Cheney raised expectations for Edwards, saying the main reason Kerry chose him as his running mate was because of his oratorical skills. Calling Edwards a] professional debater, ... was picked because he was a successful personal injury lawyer that's had an unbelievably good record of winning personal injury awards. This is not a person that was a senator that was good at debates; this was a person who was basically paid to debate in front of juries."

"[Austin aides have their focus groups too, and they claim the vice president's aggressiveness only rankles, reminding voters of the ugly noises from the past four or five years in Washington, the showdowns and shutdowns. The less partisan voters, says the campaign, like Bush's happy soundings of cooperation.] Among swing voters, they don't care about the party labels, ... They want things solved."

"All of that makes it harder on the Democrats. That's a benefit we have that we never had before."

"The benefit the Republicans have is geography and redistricting. There is a very small window for Democrats to take advantage of."

"It reminds me of what (Howard) Dean did . . . knowing the intensity of the Democratic base on Bush, that whoever took on Bush directly in a vociferous way was going to get a big bump."

"Feingold represents the largest share of the Democratic base and how they feel about this issue."

"We can never have enough strategy. We have enough tactics but not enough strategy,"
