In football, the focus should never be on the play that just happened but on the one about to take place. The past is gone and the future is all that matters. Same thing in campaigns. In these final weeks, voters are tuning in with a fine ear and candidates have the best opportunity to passionately articulate a plan for the future. So focus, show intensity and vividly describe how a voter's family, friends, loved ones and neighbors will be better off when your vision for America is implemented.

-- Steve Largent , former Republican congressman

from Oklahoma and NFL Hall of Famer

As I would say to my players, it's not over till it's over! Never, ever give up! Fight with all your might. Pull every trick play you have out of your playbook and show them you're still the champions. Think about what it will be like if you should lose. That should be enough to ignite a fire in the weakest of the bunch. Remind the world what happened in Vietnam while Lyndon Johnson, a Democrat, was in office. Champions never quit. They fight to the bitter end through blood, sweat and tears! Life is tough. Life is football without a helmet.

-- John McKissick , head football coach,

Summerville (S.C.) High School, the winningest football coach in history
