Gerald Ford actually said...

I think we're going to win Florida and, from what you all tell me, we're going to win Illinois.

The economic news is good, and it's going to get better.

Your factories in Illinois are beginning to hum, and they're going to be producing more and more and more in the months ahead.

Well, if we win in Florida and Illinois, we will be very encouraged, and I would think my opponent would be somewhat discouraged.
