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.
A lot of us want to see 'Dean for America' evolve into something more, something that helps more Democrats win elections based on the message we created, ... The campaign has changed the party so much, and has really shown people what can be done if you inspire a movement of people. So a lot of us would like to see that organization continue. If it can't continue as a presidential campaign, we could still do some good for the party and for the country.
This is one failure we will not allow Rove and the GOP attack machine to spin away with their usual barrage of photo ops, misinformation, smear campaigns and press conferences,
This campaign is simply going to offer something different than everybody else, ... I'll stand up for what I believe in, whether it's right or whether it's popular.
His whole campaign is based on the notion that 'I can keep you safe, therefore, in times of difficulty in America, stick with me,'

The pundits in Washington have been talking about me as the front-runner for a long time,
we saw people desperately trying to survive conditions that not one of us could imagine would ever happen in an American city.
The school buses were controlled by the school board, not the mayor, ... You can't blame the mayor for that.
I've resisted pronouncing a sentence before guilt is found.
The Senate has a duty to fully and fairly judge Roberts' record and qualifications, but how can it possibly do that when the White House has been sloppy or just plain uncooperative in providing information?
I understand it?s always better to have a lot of passion around an election. But what more passion could we possibly invoke than stopping George Bush from continuing to destroy the country?
