This is not politics... it's to protect the innocence of children.
I had a dream that I would be here this week, receiving something from the president, but I thought it would be the front door key.
I used to think that seniority was a terrible thing when I didn't have any.
The wind doesn't bother me. I'm in the US Senate.
I lost in '96, in case the word hadn't trickled out, and so I made a few commercials.
I will seek the presidency with nothing to fall back on but the judgment of the people of the United States, and nowhere to go but the White House or home.
I don't know how many people run for vice president and president and lose both.

If we had known we were going to win control of the Senate, we'd have run better candidates.
I have been uplifted by the extraordinary power of the American heart - by those armies of compassion, who are willing to cross town or cross the globe to minister to those they've never met and will never see again.
