If one candidate is trying to scare you and the other is trying to get you to think, if one candidate is appealing to your fears and the other one is appealing to your hopes, you better vote for the one that wants you to think and hope.

I believe that "all politics is local" quote comes from Tip O'Neill, former Massachusetts congressman and Speaker of the House.

I'll go back at least a couple of centuries:

An avidity to punish is always dangerous to liberty. It leads men to stretch, to misinterpret, and to misapply even the best of laws. He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

-- Thomas Paine

And one more for the progressives and Ron Paul fans:

It is never to be expected in a revolution that every man is to change his opinion at the same moment. There never yet was any truth or any principle so irresistibly obvious that all men believed it at once. Time and reason must cooperate with each other to the final establishment of any principle; and therefore those who may happen to be first convinced have not a right to persecute others, on whom conviction operates more slowly. The moral principle of revolutions is to instruct, not to destroy.

And there's no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying 'til you run out of cake.
