I met my wife in South Dakota.

I hope I live long enough to see every hungry school child in the world being fed under the so-called McGovern-Dole program.

I suppose politicians have always wanted to get re-elected, but there's a kind of a feeling now that if you just discredit your opposition, it makes it easier for you to win. I don't think that's necessarily true.
