Wrap 'em in Flags: A quote from the RNC playbook, straight from an RNC chair and a US Senator

[Land Shark]

"If you have a weak candidate and a weak platform, wrap yourself up in the American flag and talk about the Constitution."

-- Matthew Stanley Quay, Chairman of the Republican National Committee 1888-?, United States Senator from 1887–1899 and 1901-1904, kingmaker for Benjamin Harrison's election, and lifelong Republican party boss. During his Gilded Age tenure as a political boss, "Quayism" became "a synonym for shrewd, even ruthless, politics."
