It’s Tricky
In the election for California State Senator in 1966, candidate Richard ’Dick’ Tuck put up billboard signs that read, “The job needs Tuck and Tuck needs the job,” and for some reason, he didn’t win the election. When the ballots were nearly counted and it was looking bad for the Democrat Tuck, (he took only 10% of the vote) he quipped, you “just wait till the dead vote comes in” and ended his concession speech by saying, “The people have spoken, the bastards.” Losing to Republican George Danielson, a former FBI man and assistant DA who in 1970 was elected to the first of six terms in the US House of Representatives, Danielson then served on the House Judiciary Committee during Nixon’s impeachment trial — voting in favor of three articles of impeachment against Nixon, so how’s them apples?
