“I hope that at the end of my two terms as president, I will have overseen an even bigger peacetime expansion of the economy than my husband did.” — Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, putting the cart before the horse on re-election

“I keep coming back to this pitch, because, like any ad guy, I believe in repetition: Any extra buck you can give before June 30 is a weapon for us, in that report when we give some heart attacks to people in July. It’ll effect some of their decisions, it’ll bum out their donors, and it’ll hurt their money, which cuts off their oxygen, and frankly we want to choke ‘em all out. So, um, you’re killers — I’m gonna turn you guys loose to that mission.” — Jeb Bush super PAC strategist Mike Murphy on a conference call with donors
