"They (the American Legislative Exchange Council) have never forgotten that they were founded by people who couldn't win elections. So they put a lot of their energy on gaining the electoral process."
"ALEC is about tipping the playing field, about gaming the system, so that at the end of the day the people who couldn't win elections in the 1960's and 1970's, and frankly couldn't today, can prevail in an electroal landscape they have developed."
