I've been a strong financial and political supporter of, first, President Bush Sr. when he was running for president, and even when he ran for president a time or two and failed.

Kenneth Lay

I ran for Congress in 1996 to help Ted Kennedy pass a comprehensive health insurance reform bill.

Jim McGovern

When I ran for secretary of agriculture in Iowa in 1996, people... were sure that Iowans would not consider electing a woman to that position.

Patty Judge

President George Herbert Walker Bush ran as a strong conservative, ran to continue the third term of Ronald Reagan, continue the Ronald Reagan revolution. Then he raised taxes and in '92 ran as an establishment moderate - same candidate, two very different campaigns.

Ted Cruz

My freshman year, I ran for student class president and lost. The next year, I ran for student class vice president, and I won.

Tyra Banks

I was slapped down to the ground when my son Wade died in 1996, in April of 1996.

John Edwards

John McCain has not been president of the United States. He ran. He ran a spirited campaign. We lost. I hated to see us lose, but there were a lot of things working against us.

Richard Shelby

When I was a senior, I ran for class president. And I lost. One of my opponents even told me I was "really stupid" if I thought a girl could be elected president.

Hillary Clinton

When I was a candidate for the Republican nomination for president back in 1995, 1996, I advocated the fair tax.

I'm hearing echoes of Bill Clinton, circa 1996, in President Obama's reelection rhetoric.

Ron Fournier

I ran for president of the student council at my high school in Louisville. And ran against a guy who I thought was better known and little bit better student and managed to win.

Mitch McConnell

Al Gore didn't need to distance himself from Bill Clinton when he ran for president in 2000 because, when he ran, the country was in very good shape: strong economically and not at war. He did it anyway, and it was, in many people's estimate, mine included, one of the reasons he lost.

Susan Estrich

The beginning of my political career was not promising. I ran for junior class president at Shortridge High school and was runner up. I ran again in the senior year with the same result. But opportunity came ironically, or fortunately, when I returned to Indianapolis after serving in the Navy.

Richard Lugar

The water of the fountain ran, the swift river ran, the day ran into evening, so much life in the city ran into death according to rule, time and tide waited for no man, the rats were sleeping close together in their dark holes again, the Fancy Ball was lighted up at supper, all things ran their course.

Charles Dickens

When I ran the anchor leg to a gold medal with my Canadian teammates Glenroy Gilbert, Bruny Surin, and Robert Esmie in the 4x100-metre relay at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, it was my responsibility to motivate the guys as unofficial captain and leader.

Donovan Bailey

Hillary Clinton is not the first woman to run for president. That title belongs to Victoria Woodhull, who ran for president in 1872. Her running mate was a young, scrappy John McCain.

Conan O'Brien
