I don't think the American people, if you look historically, elect angry candidates.

John Danforth, I thought, was a great senator and did a great job with the United Nations. I think he's a good man. I would respectfully disagree with that.

There's nothing more powerful than coming out and being who you are.

I am committed to ensure that our 2008 Republican presidential candidates forthrightly address issues of importance to the African-American community.

Democratic leaders always seem to blame America first.

Our party for the longest time has relied on the votes of white guys. I think that all of these candidates are going to improve our party, our policies, and our nation.

The fact is five months ago this was an issue that people weren't really talking that much about. Because of the president's leadership, because he's brought it to people's attention, it's now a top issue.
