Egypt has been a partner of the United States over the last 30 years, has been instrumental in keeping the peace in the Middle East between Egypt and Israel, which is a critical accomplishment that has meant so much to so many people.

Senator Obama's support among hardworking Americans - white Americans - is weakening.

We are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration!

The most important qualification is that the person I pick be ready to become president if something were to happen.

I'm very proud and grateful to have the support of so many elected Vermonters and former officials. Two former governors, the current governor, the current other senator. I really appreciate that.And I think it's because they've worked with me, they've seen what I do. They know what kind of a colleague I am. They want me as their partner in the White House. And that's exactly what I will do.

I don't think that the United States has the bulk of the responsibility. I really put that on Bashar Assad and on the Iraqis and on the region itself.

I've always been intrigued by the Senate, and admired many of the people who have served there.
