We need a President who is not afraid of complexity, who believes in an open and tolerant society, and who knows that the world can be made new again - and that President is Al Gore.
It is not easy to stand up against your constituents or your friends or colleagues or your community and take a tough stand for something you believe is right. Because you always want to keep working and live to fight another battle and it might cost you your career.
Sometimes it takes a while to recognize that someone has a special ability to get us to believe in ourselves, to tie that belief to our highest ideals, and to imagine that together we can do great things. In those rare moments, when such a person comes along, we need to put aside our plans and reach for what we know is possible.
I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them. But for the first time, I believe I have found the man who could be that president - not just for me, but for a new generation of Americans.
I know my mother so well, so it's hard for me to remember that people have a certain image of her, but they don't really know her personality.
Many people remember that spirit that President Kennedy summoned forth. Many people look to me as somebody who embodies that sense of possibility.
I can see both sides of term limits, and I think, in different positions, term limits make more sense than in some others.
The biggest problem is people are afraid of poetry, think they can't understand it or that it will be boring.
I've raised three kids. I'm a lawyer. I've written books on the Constitution.
To the extent that we are all educated and informed, we will be more equipped to deal with the gut issues that tend to divide us.
I feel like my grandparents and parents gave me a tremendous amount. And if I can pass some of that on, then I'll be very happy.
Growing up in politics I know that women decide all elections because we do all the work.
Change isn't easy, it takes time.
I am, you know, a Democrat through and through. I've always voted Democratic. You know, that is where my heart lies.
