I don't like to practice ahead of time what I'm going to say.

Every time a woman runs, women win.

Tonight, the daughter of an immigrant from Italy has been chosen to run for vice president in the new land my father came to love.

I'm a happy camper because by doing this I have an opportunity to be on the cutting edge of research.

You don't deliberately submit people you love to something like that. I don't think I'd run again for vice-president. Next time I'd run for president.

I am the first to admit that were I not a woman, I would not have been the vice-presidential nominee.

What are my sources of strength? My husband and my three kids, my health-care team, and my religion.
