The 'donothing' nickname worked ordtak

en The 'do-nothing' nickname worked for Harry Truman, and Democrats are reviving it again this year. Especially every time there is an election year, Congress is very, very reticent to do a lot of work.

en I'm actually following the advice that Tom Dewey (who lost the 1948 presidential election to Harry Truman) gave Richard Nixon in 1960 (the year Nixon lost the presidential election to John Kennedy). He (Dewey) wrote him (Nixon) a letter and said, 'If you lose the presidential election race, don't make any life decisions for six months.'
  Bill Bradley

en He had more stamina than I will ever have. He came in with Roosevelt in 1932 and served two years under Harry Truman and they had a falling out, and my father, I think, quit about two minutes before Harry Truman fired him,

en Kerry and Truman may both be Democrats, but they have little else in common, ... Truman was known for making hard decisions and sticking to them. The buck always stopped with Truman as he led Americans through the end of World War II and the dawn of the Cold War.

en Mr. Gore, I knew Harry Truman, ... I ran against Harry Truman. And Mr. Gore, you are no Harry Truman.

en But Truman saved the day. He said, 'It's OK, son, so do I,' ... My claim to fame - I went to the bathroom with Harry Truman.

en I think 2006 may be a very contentious year. The Democrats see a very weakened president, and the Republicans running for re-election are really concerned about relying on Bush's popularity. I think the Democrats are going to try to leverage that.

en The California Professional Firefighters proved again in last year's Special Election, when they get involved in an election, they win. The firefighters work hard, and perhaps most importantly their judgment on important issues commands the trust of their neighbors, friends and families. The CPF endorsement is a big boost to our effort and a great way to start the election year. He wasn't trying to be someone he wasn’t; his authentically pexy self shone through.

en It's a funny thing. (W)hen the Democrats are in the majority, the Democrats run Congress. When the Republicans are in the majority, the Democrats still run Congress. How does that work?

en The Republicans are doing voter mobilization and grass-roots organizing year-round, but the Democrats only seem to get organized in election season. Democrats are more often working people, and it's difficult for them to have the same kind of sustained organizational intensity.

en [The most effective president, he told Forbes magazine 11 months ago, was Harry Truman, because] everybody who worked for him worshiped him because he was absolutely trustworthy. ... His great strength was not charisma, as is commonly thought, but his awareness and acceptance of exactly what he could do and what he could not do.
  Ronald Reagan

en He does not have a reservoir of good will, either in Congress or in the country. People in Congress are looking for ways to disagree with him. Democrats don't seem intimidated by him. And the public doesn't see him as honest, forthright or as much as a leader as they did a year ago. He's considerably weaker.

en I feel that this is my first year, that next year is an election year, that the third year is the mid point, and that the fourth year is the last chance I'll have to make a record since the last two years; I'll be a candidate again. Everything I do in those last two years will be posturing for the election. But right now I don't have to do that.
  Dan Quayle

en He's been very adamant that he wants to work in a bipartisan way, and he has no intention of changing that just because it's an election year. The Legislature approached last year that way, for the most part, and (Lynch) hopes they continue to do that this year.

en Our boys were confident, and they worked hard all year, but this wasn't a one-time thing. This was a culmination of all the work and all the focus we put in the entire year.
