I can't let important policy decisions hinge on the fact that an election is coming up every 90 days.

The United States brags about its political system but the President says one thing during the election something else when he takes office something else at midterm and something else when he leaves.

In politics it is necessary either to betray one's country or the electorate. I prefer to betray the electorate.

I have a fantasy where Ted Turner is elected President but refuses because he doesn't want to give up power.

If nominated I will not run if elected I will not serve.

Do you ever get the feeling that the only reason we have elections is to find out if the polls were right?

One of the reasons people hate politics is that truth is rarely a politician's objective. Election and power are.

If the United States of America or Britain is having elections they don't ask for observers from Africa or from Asia. But when we have elections they want observers.

It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.

The Palestinian election is something that was really a turning point. It's a mandate for peace.
