Now that it is over, these are the words and phrases that reveberate in my thoughts from the 2008 presidential campaign as I heard from the mainstream media, the advertisements, strategists, reporters, analysts, key party people, and the candidates themselves:
yes, we can
spread the wealth
95 per cent of the population
maverick
sidekick
joe the plumber
I voted with the president 90% of the time
redistributionist-in-chief
unprecedented
drill, baby, drill
historic election
first african-american
America is worth fighting for
exit polls
10 billion dollars a month (military spending)
the mac is back
socialist
untested
21 months (of campaign)
Des Moines, Iowa
popular vote
270 electoral votes
bipartisan
tax cuts
under $250,000
under $200,000
under $150,000
definition of rich
this campaign has ran out of gas (from CNN analyst to McCain's campaign)
battleground states
tightening of the polls
no one has won the presidency without winning Ohio
The following are not direct quotes but somehow kind of laid out each other's tactic during the 2008 presidential campaign:
Barack Obama:
These are the reasons why you should vote for me....
John McCain:
These are the reasons why you should not vote for him...
