It is not enough to have every intelligent person in the country voting for me. I need a majority.

Perhaps that quote helps explain why Adlai Stevenson lost two presidential races. Either because:

1. His casual arrogance alienated many people; or
2. People were too stupid to vote for him.

Either way, it's a quote that has some bearing on how this coming election will turn out, as many people question whether a majority of the country, having voted for Bush, is capable to making an intelligent decision about who should clean up Bush's numerous messes.
