I trust, that your readers will not construe my words to mean, that I would not have gone to a 3 o'clock in the morning session, for the sake of defeating the Nebraska bill.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I knew that my staying up would not change the election result if I were defeated, while if elected I had a hard day ahead of me. So I thought a night's rest was best in any event.
There's something to be said for writing in the morning. At other points in the day, you're a bit more defensive.
I'll be happy if I can just stay out of Nebraska.
I still can't shake the Nebraska off of me.
When you're writing, you're in a totally different zone... I can start a difficult poem and look up at the clock and see to my astonishment that three hours have passed.
So that's the dissenter's hope: that they are writing not for today but for tomorrow.
I got all sorts of great Nebraska jokes.
By putting forward the hands of the clock you shall not advance the hour.
You are the first President to whom the opportunity was ever offered constitutionally to inaugurate such a day. If you fail us now, you may be the last.
Anytime the president visits Nebraska its good for Nebraska.
