There's good reason to be excited. You have the first woman running who is qualified, and a very attractive African-American who has demonstrated crossover appeal. I got involved in politics 40 years ago during the civil rights movement, so yes, it's an exciting thing.

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

I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man.

We misread the Fifth Amendment [of Constitution] and have been misreading it for the past three decades.
