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.

Throwing Ronald Reagan out of office at the height of his popularity, with inflation and interest rates down, the economy moving and the country at peace, would have required God on the ticket and She was not available!

I readily admit I was not an expert on foreign policy but I was knowledgeable and I didn't need a man who was the Vice President of the United States and my opponent turning around and putting me down.

I don't consider myself a survivor; that's someone who has gone through something terrible.

People who live through transplants or disasters like Sept. 11 are survivors.

Vice president—it has such a nice ring to it.

It's okay in this country to be sexist. It's certainly not okay to be racist.
