Ben has the grassroots organizing skills, leadership experience and Minnesota political know-how to build on the success of our campaign.
kids college people
Times change, and right now what people need is, they need to be able to send their kids to college, they need to able to buy a house.
running memories remember
For me, one of my earliest memories of politics where I thought that I could do anything was when Walter Mondale of Minnesota picked Geraldine Ferraro as his running mate. I literally remember what she wore - the red dress, the white pearls. And I saw that, and I thought anything is possible.
changes follow hot issues loved prosecutor putting trying wall whether
When I was prosecutor we had truancy and curfew issues and we made a refrigerator magnet, and that was hot with parents. They loved putting it up on the wall and saying, you know, if you don't follow these rules, you could get prosecuted. Whether or not it actually happens, it changes a culture, and that's part of what we're trying to do here.
communication kids years
Who would know but ten years ago that kids would be texting each other all the time, that that would be one of their main forms of communication.
jobs insurance-companies company
We have to do a better job of putting some rules on the insurance companies.
school honest standards
If we're going to have standards in schools, let's be honest and have standards.

I think you're going to see a number of Democrats that do want to see us grapple with spending.
meaningful believe creating
I believe we can incentivize more affordable health care in general by better regulating insurance and creating meaningful competition for health care services.
kids technology years
So many times, these kids know more about the technology than their parents. And so many times, we're putting kids in very adult situations and expecting them to behave like they're 40 years old. Well, that's just not going to happen.
husband men groups
My husband is the first man to consistently be involved in the Senate Spouses group.
sports football dad
My dad was a sports writer when I was younger and then he became just a general columnist. But I grew up with him literally getting into brawls with football coaches.
moving party thinking
Well, I think the way to go is civil unions. But I do think when you talk about the Republican Party and the debates that are going on within the Republican Party on a number of issues, what I'm hoping is that they will get to a point where they will work with us on moving forward with this economy.
blue years shoes
I understand now why Hillary Clinton always wore navy blue pantsuits. Remember, for four years? If you have one or two themes, then you have the same shoes, the same bag. Otherwise, it's a nightmare.
