I'm not trying to get myself up a notch on the ladder by shoving somebody else down on the ladder, whether it's a candidate or the president of the United States or anybody else. I just don't believe that's the way one oughta campaign, I've never done that.

As you know, in the 2000 campaign I articulated a point of view that we ought to have personal savings accounts for younger workers that would make sure those younger workers receive benefits equal to or greater than that which is expected, ... I still maintain the same position.

Time and again in this century, the political map of the world was transformed. And ineach instance a new world order came about through the advent of a new tyrant or the outbreak of a bloody global war, or its end.

In crucial things, unity. In important things, diversity. In ALL things, generosity.

You have to understand that people that are hurting are going to criticize.

I'll be glad to reply to or dodge your questions, depending on what I think will help our election most.

We don't think of ourselves as a dynasty. I really hope some of my grandkids will be actively involved in politics.
