I think Wes Clark would be a fine running mate, but I have not asked him to be my running mate.
If we can't elect people running for the city council and country commissioner and school board and state assembly, if we can't elect those people, then we're never gonna elect a president of the United States,
Running away from issues is how you lose elections,
This is a bill that ought never to have been passed, and this is why I am running for president,
Apparently, Governor Schwarzenegger has ripped a page from President Bush's re-election playbook, ... Rule number one in the 'Bush-Rove Guide to Running on a Record of Failure' is to demonize groups of people and use them to divide the electorate by rallying the extremists in your base.

We don't have a federal government that wants to help, so I'm glad you're doing this. This is all we've got.
We are the great grass roots campaign of the modern era, built from mouse pads, shoe leather and hope, ... And like the founders of our republic, we seek change.
