Here are our favorites from this year's campaign trail...

The third aforementioned quote–the land literally flowed with milk and honey–comes straight from Louisa May Alcott’s 1868 novel Little Women. And who doesn’t remember Fitzgerald’s description of Jay Gatsby: “He literally glowed?” But neither was the town of Plumfield overrun with food-stuffs nor our favorite social climber actually luminescent.
