Quote by Anna Quindlen

“The problem with freedom is that you just can't go back. Once people see what it means to be free people, you can't go back.

“On the other hand, I think that Governor Romney has to worry that his turnout is going to be low, that he is not going to bring out the evangelicals, that he is not going to bring out the Tea Party stalwarts.
