The best way to begin genuine bipartisanship to make America stronger is to work together on the real crises facing our country, not to manufacture an artificial crisis to serve a special interest agenda out of touch with the needs of Americans.

I think that our own crisis of democracy is in its own way affecting our ability to leverage in the same way that we used to in the world.

President Obama has made it his mission that we welcome our troops home with care, and concern, and the respect they deserve. That is how an exceptional nation says "thank you" to its most exceptional men and women.

George Bush sold us on going to war with Iraq based on the threat of weapons of mass destruction. But we still haven't found them.

If you don't believe ... Saddam Hussein is a threat with nuclear weapons, then you shouldn't vote for me.

How do you ask a man to be the last man to die in Vietnam? How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?

The measurement in this race is not where you come from, it is "what do you fight for."
