Bill Clinton in 2004: "You better vote for the person who wants you to think and hope."
==ZAHN: Our latest poll shows President Bush clearly ahead on terrorism and Iraq, but Senator Kerry holding a strong lead on the economy and health care. Today, both men pressed their advantages.

BUSH: My opponent has the wrong strategy for the wrong country at the wrong time.

KERRY: And every single thing that makes a difference to the quality of your life is on the ballot on November 2.

ZAHN: But today, the last word went to Bill Clinton.

CLINTON: Now, one of Clinton's laws of politics is this. If one candidate is trying to scare you and the other one is try get you to think, if one candidate is appealing to your fears and the other one is appealing to your hopes, you better vote for the person who wants you to think and hope.==

2. What a great line.
Maybe Obama should "plagarize" it.

6. There's no begrudging the Big Dog's natural political talent
It will be fun when he's able to get over the sting of all this and watch him and President Obama work some magic together.

7. Can't anyone spell plagiarize? Come on!
Also, who says Hillary is trying to scare people? I went to one of her rallies, and at no point did she attempt to scare me.
