Politics abhors a vacuum.

Politics requires the sense of possibility. Dare I say it - the audacity of hope.

Hope springs eternal, even in politics.

In politics, what begins in fear usually ends in failure.

In the end, that's what this election is about. Do we participate in a politics of cynicism or a politics of hope?

I will vote my hopes and not my fears.

Part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now and facts and science and argument does not seem to be winning the day all the time is because we're hardwired not to always think clearly when we're scared. And the country's scared.

I don't feel a lack of hope. It's just disappointment that after all these years we're still fighting meaningless wars for a handful of people.

It is a vain hope to make people happy by politics.

Hope is the denial of reality.
