The Republicans need to work on registration and getting out their vote and their early voters and absentees. Grassroots stuff.
Don't underestimate questions from the crowd technology has made voters more informed than ever.
The President has not created any Ford constituency unique from that of any Republican President. The one exception to this is that he does show unique strength with young voters for a Republican.
I respect the president. He and I have a difference of opinion on how to help the country we both love. But the question each of us wants the voters to answer is who will be the better president not who is the better American.
Voters don't have to love him Romney advisers say but they will respect him.
While only about half of the voters feel they know very much about Reagan or what he stands for the Republicans who do have a very positive perception of him.
People are fed up with the politics where candidates just rip each other apart and then the voters lose in the end because no one really knows what anybody stands for.
Your every voter as surely as your chief magistrate exercises a public trust.
When governments become large voters cannot exercise close oversight otherwise known as political power.
Voters don't decide issues they decide who will decide issues.
The largest party in America by the way is neither the Democrats nor the Republicans. It's the party of non-voters.
Political promises are much like marriage vows. They are made at the beginning of the relationship between candidate and voter but are quickly forgotten.
We do not believe voters gave President Bush a mandate to turn back the clock decades on so many of our legal protections.
They view massive immigration as a massive infusion of potential voters for the Democratic Party and therefore will do nothing absolutely nothing to stop that flow of legal or illegal entrance into the country.
The Democratic Party looks at massive immigration legal and illegal as a source of voters.
My focus as part of the leadership is to keep talking about the independent voters independent voters - how do we get the independent voters back?
Research has shown that the perceived style of leadership is by far the most important thing to most voters in evaluating officeholders and candidates.
There are whole precincts of voters in this country whose united intelligence does not equal that of one representative American woman.
Part of the problem is voters know relatively little about Romney. And some of what they know about him complicates his task: Romney has a history of flip-flopping on issues he's extraordinarily wealthy and he can be tone-deaf about what moves voters. He just doesn't seem comfortable in his skin.
I do see women voters shifting to the Republican Party and doing so significantly. And the issue that's doing this is the fear the federal government will prevail in making the Affordable Health Care Act permanent law and how that will hurt small businesses.
Voters did say 'repeal health care ' they did say 'reduce the size of government.' But not a single one of them from the tea party or anywhere said 'give tax breaks to the wealthiest.'
Many smart folks seem to think that if you just get your metaphors and messages right you'll win. That if you start describing what you favor as a 'moral value' - 'affordable health care is a moral value' etc. - then you'll appeal to red-state voters.
Republicans would have preferred the court overturn the health care bill an act that would have underscored Obama's biggest liability - the perception among voters including those who like and trust him that he has been ineffective.
As the prospect of a Tory government gets nearer many traditional Labour voters - some who switched away in recent times and many who stayed at home - seem more determined to prevent that happening.
The very idea of true patriotism is lost and the term has been prostituted to the very worst of purposes. A patriot sir! Why patriots spring up like mushrooms!
