Karl Rove Debate Quotations

The outcome of that debate will shape the course of human events,

I would remind you that in 1984, after the Mondale -- second Mondale-Reagan debate -- where Reagan clearly won, the instant polls showed that Mondale was the winner.

We intend to pick it up. I welcome this debate because it is one that we can win.

This debate will produce a small (positive polling) change for Bush. That change won't matter too much, because most of the change we needed occurred with the end of the first two debates. And that doesn't bother me a bit.
