The Democratic Party, all the candidates from Washington, they all know each other, they all move in the same circles, and what I'm doing is breaking into the country club.

Look, I'm not a perfect person. I have my warts. I sometimes say things that get me in trouble. I wear suits that are cheap. But I say what I think and I believe what I say, and I'm willing to say things that are not popular but ordinary people know are right.

I still want to be the candidate for guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks.

The fact is that we wouldn't be in Iraq if it weren't for Democrats like Senator Kerry.

We know that no one person can succeed unless everybody else succeeds.

At every turn when there has been an imbalance of power, the truth questioned, or our beliefs and values distorted, the change required to restore our nation has always come from the bottom up from our people.

I was hoping to get a reception like this, I'd just hoped that it would be on Thursday night instead of Tuesday night.
