Quote

The possibility of my presidential candidacy emerged spontaneously in public opinion polls. For my part, I noticed people's affection when I was doing work on the ground. I think the important thing is that my candidacy was born from citizens themselves, driven by the people and which the parties picked up favorably.

Love is blind. My politics has been, too. I think you can fall in love with ideas, and you can fall in love with people. It's a very subjective experience. And I'm loyal to that experience.

I'm a complete supporter of Obama and kind of in love with him.

Candidates are making lasting impressions on voters, not just primary voters, in how they campaign.

I don't think voters give a hoot about the character of their political advisors, except to the extent that character reflects on the candidates.

I may not be the favourite candidate of some people within the Republican establishment, but the voters made a decision.

I think the President inspires tremendous affection and loyalty by a wide range of people.

There was a time when I was enamored of the Clintons. I knocked on doors, phone-banked and rallied during his campaign.

Democratic politicians have disliked things I've written, Republican politicians... if they all love you, you might as well be driving a Good Humor truck.
