Best Of Election Night Ratherisms

Dan Rather on Election Night 2004:

  • “This race is hotter than a Times Square Rolex.”
  • “This race is humming along like Ray Charles.”
  • “The presidential race is swinging like Count Basie.”
  • “This race is hotter than the Devil’s anvil.”
  • “Ohio becomes like a sauna for the two candidates. All they can do is wait and sweat.”
  • “One’s reminded of that old saying, ‘Don’t taunt the alligator until after you’ve crossed the creek.'”
