Goldberg won the nomination and was subsequently defeated by Rockefeller.

Famous quotes containing the words return to, return and/or politics:
“To save the theatre, the theatre must be destroyed, the actors and actresses must all die of the plague. They poison the air, they make art impossible. It is not drama that they play, but pieces for the theatre. We should return to the Greeks, play in the open air: the drama dies of stalls and boxes and evening dress, and people who come to digest their dinner.”
—Eleonora Duse (1858–1924)
“We wished our two souls
might return like gulls
to the rock. In the end,
the water was too cold for us.”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
“Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
