There are a number of steps that we can take to reinvigorate and rebuild the economic and the physical infrastructure of our country and then to rebuild us, frankly, on a spiritual level.

I think it does suggest that the American people really do want to listen to somebody who actually has some solutions, some answers, and gives them some hope.

Well, if you pick a fight with somebody that's smaller than you and you beat them, where's the honor in that?

Defining myself, as opposed to being defined by others, is one of the most difficult challenges I face.

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.

I really think that's the key, part of the spiritual renewal that America needs to have, the notion that we really can have confidence in a better tomorrow.
