I think when everything is finally considered, I'll have a lot of support -- strong support -- not only from labor unions but from working people.

In every issue there are winners are losers, and the losers are plenty. But they have to be willing to grudgingly accept the result. That's the genius of our democracy.

Eventually I foresee voting on the Internet, which will lead to much more direct democracy.

America is a great country. We are so wealthy. But our one remaining challenge is to fulfill the potential of all our people. And the only way we can do that is to try to bring everybody together to a higher place.

You know, when you're in public life, everything you do is out there. But I am proud to stand on my record.

We are all so privileged to be citizens of America, and we all need to be engaged.
