[A] re-elected McConnell, with a Republican majority, would, he says, emulate his model of majority leadership - the 16 years under a Democrat, Montana's Mike Mansfield. He, like McConnell, had a low emotional metabolism but a subtle sense of the Senate's singular role in the nation's constitutional equilibrium.
George Will
Americans are conservative. What they want to conserve is the New Deal.
George Will
Man is messy, but any creature that can create space vehicles can probably cope.
