When you're looking for votes, you are looking for votes from everybody, particularly the powerful.
I will be the first to admit that getting votes and getting an audience are two different things. For example, a politician really can't be elected if he's hated by half the people. A talk show host, however, can be an overwhelming national phenomenon while being hated by half the people.
Ultimately as much as the film industry is a business, it's a democracy. And the audience votes on how they feel based on the way they spend their money for tickets.
Texas has a lot of electrical votes.
The only poll obviously that matters is the last one, the one that's counted after all the votes are cast.
When WOMEN got the right to vote is when it all went downhill. Because that's when votes started being cast with emotion and uh, maternal instincts that government ought to reflect.
Votes in federal elections are cast and counted in a highly decentralized and variable fashion, with no uniform ballots and few national standards.
All politicians are going to mask to some degree in order to present themselves in away they think will get them votes. What's different in Obama's case is that he's wearing a racial mask, this 'bargainer's' mask, and I think very effectively, whereby he gives whites the benefit of the doubt. He's essentially saying, 'I am going to presume you are not racist, if you won't hold my race against me. ' So, his mask is a distinctly racial one.
Sixty-five months into Bush's presidency, conservatives feel betrayed The main cause of conservatives' anger with Bush is this: He talked like a conservative to win our votes but never governed like a conservative.

No-one ever votes Tory, do they?
I love religion but I don't need it for votes.
The way to get people's votes is to say that all their problems are caused by other people, and that you will stop those other people from giving them trouble. But if you really want to help, then you can tell them the truth and risk losing their votes.
I think the truth is that the Labour Party isn't believed any more because people suspect it will say anything to get votes. The rebuilding of some radical alternatives to Thatcherism - and by that I mean all-party Thatcherism - will require us to do some very difficult things
Votes are something that you earn.
I always get more applause than votes.
The wonderful thing about food is you get three votes a day. Every one of them has the potential to change the world.
I don't expect people to agree with all my votes.
If you double count some votes, that makes other votes disenfranchised.
You never know. It started with me in Louisiana when I won Louisiana and I got fewer delegates than Ted Cruz. I win a state, I get fewer votes. Then, I poll great in Colorado and all of a sudden. . . the voters aren't going to choose. The bosses are going to choose. Anything is possible.
