I have never left another senator out to dry. Never.

It is the most vicious of all crimes - to be abused by someone you had a relationship with! Because then you blame yourself.

There's one advantage in having been around as long as I have. Everybody in the Senate knows me, and - I'm going to say something presumptuous, to repeat myself - I think most respect me.

Mike Dukakis? He's the salt of the earth.

Success will come when the societal attitude changes and not a single woman in America asks herself the question 'What did I do?'.

Obama and Biden want to raise taxes by a trillion dollars. Guess what? Yes, we do in one regard. We want to let that trillion dollar tax cut expire so the middle class doesn't have to bear the burden of all that money going to the super-wealthy. That's not a tax raise. That's called fairness where I come from.
