For a winning candidate, the message is refined and then becomes his or her political agenda in office.

I began to radiate the glow of a winning candidate.

The elections of 1824, 1876, 1888, and 2000 are not on this list because in those elections the winning candidate actually received less than a plurality.

His supporters charged electoral fraud and forced the winning candidate to resign.

The winning candidate needs only a plurality of the vote.

A Lack of Enthusiasm Some Democrats are satisfied with the current field and say it can still produce a winning candidate.

Such charges have made it uncertain whether Sunday's election will produce a winning candidate with decisive support and losers willing to accept their defeat graciously.

And I think a winning candidate.

Even in the early stages of Bush's 2000 run, energy executives understood what strong support of a winning candidate could mean.

Their winning candidate insists he comes with no strings attached, but, given the circumstances, who could believe that?
