Leaders need to be optimists. Their vision is beyond the present.

I am a free market Republican. I am against subsidies, in most cases.

Thank God we're safe. What I anticipated on Sept. 11 was that we would be attacked many times between then and now, and we haven't been.

And it's a little - very humbling to think that running for president of the United States is - for a kid from Brooklyn, it's quite a step.

I certainly have the energy, and there's probably nobody that knows the Justice Department better than me.

I remember a case where I was associate attorney general where 720 dead people voted in Chicago in the 1982 election. I remember in my own election about 60 dead people voted. So I can't sit here and tell you that they don't cheat.
