I didn't want my next U.S. senator to be someone who was going to go up there and do the same stuff people have been doing. But I guess our argument is it's okay to be angry and upset at Washington.

Every generation in America has faced the same question, do we we want America to be special? Or do we just want America to be another country? The time has come again.

I have almost the same number of days left as Barack Obama has in the White House. So we are going to stay focused on this job. I am enjoying it a lot. And we are going to see if we can achieve some very good things before the end of the year.

A president cannot make decision on what someone might know in the future.

If you elect me president, we will have a president that believes America is the greatest country in the world and we will have a president that acts like it.

After all, the U.S. Senate already has one Arlen Specter too many.

You cannot give up on the American dream. We cannot allow our fears and our disappointments to lead us into silence and into inaction.
