(McCain) tapped into a spirit of reform, ... It just shows how difficult it is to run against entrenched power. |
(The war) was not popular. I didn't support it, ... But I feel I had an obligation to serve, and this was the way I chose to do it. |

A campaign proposal without a price tag is just another politicians promise. |
a new story for a new century. |
Absolutely not. For 18 years in the United States Senate I fought to protect Medicare, I protected premiums from going up for senior citizens, ... I will always do that. |
Al Gore clearly has the vision... it's a much better vision than that of George W. Bush |
Al Gore has run a strong campaign and I congratulate him, ... But we are smarter and better-prepared. |
Al Gore needs to respect voters enough to be honest not just about his plans but mine. Honesty and trust is what they would like to have in a candidate and what they expect and deserve to have in a candidate. |
Al Gore's run a strong race and I congratulate him, but we're smarter and we're better prepared and we're dedicated to continuing the fight, ... But it's a fight about more than Al Gore or me. It's a fight about the kind of America we know we can become. |

He has entrenched power, he has a president who is supporting him, loyal to him -- as he was loyal to the president -- he's got most of the DNC (Democratic National Committee), he's got most of the big Democratic fund-raisers, he rides on Air Force Two. That is entrenched power, |
Ambition is the path to success. Persistence is the vehicle you arrive in. |
And if only John McCain hadn't taken all the play away from us with a New Hampshire landslide. |
And so now we leave New Hampshire and move South and West. We leave with thanks to all of you and fond memories that will always be able to claim when we make our progress forward that the new politics began here. |
