"Barry... I think I'm pregnant"

- Michele Obama to her husband at the start of 2008. (Worst. POD. Ever.)

"Ladies and gentlemen! Thank you for your outstanding support today. We've won Iowa! We'll go on to win in New Hampshire and South Carolina with your continued support! Let's win for America!"
- John Edwards in the New Hampshire victory rally.

"...I can't in good conscience let either Edwards or Clinton win this. Edwards is a callow showboat who just cares about himself above the party and Clinton is a dynasticrat who voted for the Iraq War... Besides Reid pulled me aside and had a good chat to me about my chances... I think I can make it."
- Russ Feingold Diaries.

"...I am in to win."
- Russ Feingold.

" That fucking Feingold thinks he can snatch it away just like that from us? Let's see about that!"
- Elizabeth Edwards

"...I'm glad I stayed out of this presidential race. It's pretty much descended into gutter politics. Both the Clinton and Edwards campaign have been playing dirty on Feingold...To be honest I think that Feingold's got the best chance out of all of them but his third place finish in Florida means that he probably won't make it..."

- Senator Obama to his wife

"I am withdrawing of the Democratic Primaries. The level of vitriol, hatred and sheer personal nastiness directed at me by both frontrunner campaigns has shocked and offended me and made me question the direction that this country is heading to..."

- Senator Feingold announces his intention to withdraw

"...With Feingold withdrawing it just leaves the Clinton and Edwards camps duking it out for the few remaining delegates to put them over the edge. The recent news about Bill Clinton's numerous affairs may put an end to the Clinton dreams...but I've been hearing some pretty unsavoury things about John in the grapevine recently..."
- Senator Obama to his wife.

"...Edwards has done it. Clinching Montana and South Dakota has put Edwards on edge just by a bit. God help us all."
- Senator Feingold

"...It gives me great pleasure to announce an experienced, honourable man as my running mate. Governor Blagojevich of Illinois will be my running mate. He has fought hard to make healthcare affordable for many people in Illinois..."
- John Edwards on announcing his running mate.

"...It's been a total contrast the Democratic and Republican Primaries. McCain won by quite a decisive margin and the Republicans quickly rallied to his standard. This campaign was also free of much of the muckracking and nastiness that was pervasive in the Democratic field...The Democratic primary was divisive and nasty as hell. Hillary made a grudging endorsement speech at the convention...If McCain plays his cards right he could appeal to all the disgruntled Hillarites..."
- Some random AH.COM commenter.

"... Sarah Palin is my running mate..."
- John McCain

"...America faces a choice between the corrupt and ethically challenged or the incompetent and the senile..."
- Some really harsh AH.COM comment.
