Phil SimmsI'm optimistic about our future as a party. It's about winning. The Democratic Party, if I had to do one word: winning.

I can always give all the attention to my teammates because they handle it well.

But sometimes when you put your all into something, and don't give up even when the odds are so against you, you surprise the lion and yourself, and you win.

Gary NevilleIf the roles were reversed, I would be saying the same thing. As a competitor, you're tired of the same guy winning. I guess I understand where they're coming from and what they're saying ... I don't necessarily agree with it. I think it would be great for someone to win five straight.
