Elections are about the future.

Do not ever say to anybody it's time for us to have a woman in the leadership, because that's the least important selling point.

I think that people have great anger over what happened in 2008 in terms of the economy.

The proposed Bush regulations put politics above the health care needs of Americans.

If I cry, it's about the personal loss of a friend or something like that. But when it comes to politics - no, I don't cry.

I believe that the president's (Bush) leadership in the actions taken in Iraq demonstrate an incompetence in terms of knowledge, judgment and experience in making the decisions that would have been necessary to truly accomplish the mission without the deaths to our troops and the cost to our taxpayers.

I promise to do everything in my power to achieve energy independence and to do so within ten years and to stop global warming, which says to the American people that we are about the future, about addressing how we create jobs, how we care for our children, how we grow our economy, and how we preserve our planet.
