If we lose, better to go down fighting and standing for what we believe in, because we will not win an election if the public doesn't think we'll stand up for what we believe in.
If the governor were serious about ridding his administration of partisan patronage, he never would have pardoned them in the first place and would have cooperated with the Attorney Generals investigation,
If the American people will put us back in power in '06, we will have on the president's desk things that outlaw all those kinds of behavior.
He's had millions of dollars thrown at him by Bloomberg, and I think he's just hanging right in there, every single day, ... and I think that's what you want is a tough guy who will get up and go to work every day no matter how much adversity he faces.
He's clearly not going to take more votes away from George Bush than he is from John Kerry,
He can no longer be trusted to keep America safe.
Harry Truman was willing to do things that were extraordinarily unpopular because they were the right things to do,
He got us into it. He owes it to the American people to get us out.

Let me say that if John Kerry is the nominee I'm going to support him, ... Second of all, if John Kerry were the nominee, I'd advise him not to pick me because you don't need two people from New England on the ticket. I will do whatever I can to beat George Bush.
I think no one likes to see violence of any kind.
Iraq was not an imminent threat to the United States. It turned out they did not have the weapons of mass destruction that people thought they did, myself included. It turned out that much of what the president told us was not so.
