Terry Madonna Quotations

There are not a lot of reasons for people to vote,

When Republicans represent moderate districts, they become less conservative just as Democrats representing conservative districts become less liberal. The least conservative Republican members Mike Fitzpatrick, Jim Gerlach and Curt Weldon all represent suburban Philadelphia districts, where the voters tend to be more moderate.

This seat is critical in whether the Democrats can pick up the House or not.

I've never seen anything like this, ... It's a populist insurrection.

Do you want to trust and like the president--is that more important--or do you believe you have to vote for Gore to keep the peace and prosperity we've had the last eight years?

This election was a proxy for a bigger struggle to change the culture and lifestyle in Harrisburg,

This is the issue that wouldn't go away, ... The pay hike triggered long-standing, simmering anger over the way the Legislature does its business and, indeed, over the way Harrisburg operates. It's a reaction against secrecy and what the voters say is arrogance.

The attitude is much more inflammatory in the central and western part of the state than it is in the southeast, ... A lot of people are worse off financially than they were a year ago, paying more for things like healthcare and gasoline, and (the pay raise) really rubbed them the wrong way.

This is just not about the judges -- the judges are not known directly by people, ... This is guilt by association and augurs of bigger things to come.

His entire career he's been at the center of a lot of controversial issues, and I don't think he has sleepless nights because of them.

Can you imagine the type of stories we'd see if they do property taxes in April (this year).

I do think we could see a lot more fundraising for no other reason than there are going to be more competitive elections.

I don't think they're going to do anything, ... I've not seen a single member of the leadership show any inclination to admit that what they did was in error.

You can't win a statewide election without winning the suburbs. And right now, Casey has a substantial lead in the suburbs.

This is a herculean populist insurrection, the likes of which I haven't seen.
