Historically, there hasn't been a significant correlation between gold prices and U.S. elections. Furthermore, history has shown that gold prices tend to fall just before U.S. elections and rise immediately after, and this goes on until the next election.

Leadership is not about the next election, it's about the next generation.

A politician thinks of the next election. A statesman, of the next generation.

It would have been a very, very good thing if the next election after Margaret went we had lost.

The truth is that for a Democrat to triumph in a presidential election, it needs to come on the heels of 'the dark times' of an unpopular Republican administration.

If we want to kill Obamacare and we want to end socialized medicine, it must be done in the next election!
