People have said I'm the candidate of anger. Well, we have a right to be angry. We lost 3 million jobs. We lost our place as the moral leader of the world.
I will use whatever position I have in order to root out hypocrisy. Democrats have strong moral values. Frankly, my moral values are offended by some of the things I hear on programs like "Rush Limbaugh," and we don't have to put up with that.
You think people can work all day and then pick up their kids at child care or wherever and get home and still manage to sandwich in an eight-hour vote? Well Republicans, I guess can do that. Because a lot of them have never made an honest living in their lives.
We've brought a lot of new people to this party, and they're all out working like crazy knocking on doors, ... We're going to see a huge turnout and it's -- a lot of it's going to be people who haven't voted before.
Work with Mexico to improve economies in rural America and rural Mexico, and you will stop the flood of people wanting to come to America.
we're going to find a way to stay in one way or the other.

We're not going to win this country, and even worse, Democrats, if we don't have a big tent.
We're going to have to win eventually, ... But the question was do we have to win on February 3? Of course we want to. But we don't have to. What we've got to do is amass as many delegates as we can.
we're going to keep going, one way or the other.
What we're going to do is reach out to 2 million Americans and ask them for $100 each, because I think there are at lease 2 million who would give us or even borrow $100 so they could send George Bush back to Crawford, Texas,
There are some parallels to Watergate. This is a third-rate, silly effort that definitely turns out to be rooted in the White House.
There are Democrats everywhere, ... We need a message. It has to be clear. The framing of the debate determines who wins the debate. Running away from issues is how you lose elections.
We have cows that have not been milked for a long time.
