Google thinks it's Winston Churchill as well. I did come across a quote wiki:
http://www.wikiquote.org/
Wikiquote is nice. I missed it because I googled for Mark Twain and parts of the Churchill quote -- for that I'm now convinced it is as wikiquote gives a slightly longer excerpt and the date and location of the speech (November 11, 1947, in the House of Commons).
Interesting that in the quote on wikiquote, Churchill indicates that the sentiment is not original with him:
"Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time."
Note the "it has been said"...
