"All politics is local"[edit]

In the section Often quoted aphorisms, the NY Times article cited in the footnote for this quote only states that Dunne wrote it and does not give any source for the claim. The Quote Verifier by Ralph Keyes says it's just "an old political saw" and notes that Dunne's own biographer says he didn't write it. Zgystardst (talk) 15:13, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
