Famous quotes containing the word election:

    “Well, I am chiefly interested in the renomination, so don’t get disconsolate over that. If we lost the election I shall feel that the party is rejected, whereas if I fail to secure the renomination it will be a personal defeat.”
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    “What a glorious time they must have in that wilderness, far from mankind and election day!”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
