During a political campaign everyone is concerned with what a candidate will do on this or that question if he is elected except the candidate; he's too busy wondering what he'll do if he isn't elected.

Solutions-oriented campaigning with a little passion and a little humor; I think that will go a long way. I think people are desperate for it.

Everybody is looking for an election where they can do something and participate.

My family has been around campaigns for a long time. It's something you really have to be sure that you alone want to do. Because if not, if you don't want to do it, that will just blow through the surface at some point, and people can tell. And when people can tell, it's all over.

There are a lot of different demands on the campaign trail, but what matters most is that you connect with voters and take the time to really hear their concerns.

What happens traditionally in a campaign is they will go out to their list once or twice a week to raise money from their fund-raisers, but when a candidate gets to a general election, you get some donor fatigue because they've already maxed out their campaign to give.

Some political spouses are much more comfortable on the campaign trail than others, and they take to it a lot more naturally.

When people campaign for positions, they promise people all kinds of things.

What campaigns are for is weeding out the people who, for one way or another, weren't making it for the long haul.
