Long before the appointed moment arrives, the election becomes the greatest and so to speak sole business preoccupying minds.... The entire nation falls into a feverish state; the election is then the daily text of the public papers, the subject of particular conversations, the goal of all reasoning, the object of all thoughts.... As soon as fortune has pronounced [the victor], this ardor is dissipated, everything becomes calm, and the river, one moment overflowed, returns peacefully to its bed.

— Alexis de Tocqueville
