More quotes by Ron Fournier

Palin seems to have forgotten that her poll ratings have plummeted since the summer of 2011.
Ron Fournier
Clearly, the Obama presidency hasn't wiped out racial prejudices.
Ron Fournier
Anything may be possible in America, but a Palin presidency is virtually implausible.
Ron Fournier
American exceptionalism is the recurring character in the nation's narrative.
Ron Fournier
Perhaps we should wait until his second term begins before carving Barack Obama's face in Mount Rushmore. Is that asking too much?
Ron Fournier
Although we were never pals and occasionally butted heads, my relationship with Clinton and his wife, Hillary, made me a better journalist.
Ron Fournier
It's an appeal as old as America and its presidency: This is an extraordinary country populated by hard-working, big-dreaming, freedom-loving people graced by God when they're not pulling themselves up by the bootstraps.

Don't underestimate questions from the crowd technology has made voters more informed than ever.
Ron Fournier
A presidential debate is a job interview. And voters look for certain traits in people applying to be president.
