We have gone into a war, an unelected president sending us into a war that the Congress frankly had no right, I believe, to authorize.

And frankly, being a woman I think gives me a slightly different take on a lot of the issues and on a lot of the solutions to the problems we face.

If I lose, I'm going to retire from politics, practice law, and wear bright leather pants.

I'm used to people not paying me a whole lot of attention and underestimating me and, frankly, for me a big challenge is to have people believe that I can be the president of the United States.

There are no permanent friends or permanent enemies, just permanent interests.

All I really want to be is boring. When people talk about me, I'd like them to say, Carol's basically a short Bill Bradley. Or, Carol's kind of like Al Gore in a skirt.

I think its time to get a reapportionment process that frankly takes out the incumbency protection and the raw politics of the process.
