Look, you're not going to get me to say that Democrats don't make mistakes. We do. I mentioned two areas - pension reform and seniority and tenure. I've done both - I've advocated for both. I've advocated for - seek for reform as well.

In no small part I think all of us kind of look in the mirror and feel good or not feel good about the person we seen in the mirror in no small part because of the jobs we have.

You all know I love L.A., but tonight I really love L.A.

Let me be clear - no one is above the law. Not a politician, not a priest, not a criminal, not a police officer. We are all accountable for our actions.

You can't just trot out a brown face or a Spanish surname and expect people are going to vote for your party or your candidate.

We're not a homogeneous party, anymore than the Republicans are. But we are a party that I think has a plan to take us forward.

We stand with President Obama - love doesn't have a color, love doesn't care if you're gay or straight. Love doesn't discriminate.
