By this late stage in the primary season, most of us who are following the contest for the nomination for president believe we now have an understanding of who each candidate is and what he or she stands for. After reading or listening to countless sound-bites from the stump, it often feels like we could identify the contenders simply by reading a disembodied transcript of a line or two. We at Political Machine thought it would be interesting to put that concept to the test.

Here then is the first in a running feature we're calling "Who Said What?" It will give you a chance to test your acumen at attributing quotes to the candidates candidates who uttered them. So go ahead, put these words in the right mouth, if you can.

Round 1:

"We are, right now, a very polarized country, and that polarized country has led to a paralyzed government... We've got to be the united people of the United States, and a president has got to somehow remind us that we are a great, resilient nation that has to stick together to solve all of these problems."















"I'm not being a wise-ass. I am not joking. The guy with the most money and the woman with the biggest buzz, beaten by the man with the right message! Who people think is honest!"















"You can't have a nominee who says, 'I'm writing off Iowa or New Hampshire.' You've got to have a nominee who cares about the election process in both states. I'm fighting to win in both states because I not only want to win the nomination, but I want to win the general election."
