Gerald Ford actually said...

"I think we are ahead in Oregon and, of course, what was most satisfying--and some of the people from home would understand it-was the great shot in the arm we got in Michigan."

"We are still predicting in Kansas City we will get a first ballot victory."

"There's absolutely no reason whatsoever for you to trade in a reliable Ford for a flashier model."

"I will secure the peace through strength and perseverance and leave the legacy of peace for our children and their children."
