We have just in Pennsylvania alone, 300 years worth of coal sitting in the ground that we aren't really utilizing now because of concern for the environment, and it's a legitimate concern, but one that we can overcome,
We really have an obligation to keep our eye on the ball here, ... The ball is helping those, the needy, in our society.
We did our job well and everyone knows it. By falsely claiming that we got it wrong, Rick Santorum is continuing his misguided crusade against the National Weather Service.
I think he set a great standard going forward for judicial nominees, as to laying out the proper role of the court. That's one of the things I think we've lost. We've gotten into this battle, we want a liberal or a conservative. No, what we want is someone who decides the case before them as narrowly as possible.
I think I would probably tailor that a little more than what the president has suggested, ... I'm not comfortable with intelligent design being taught in the science classroom.
People know what I stand for and why I stand for it, ... I don't think that's the case with my opponent.
I think what we've learned is that there's still a simmering problem in America when it comes to race, and that the solutions that we've had to try to deal with the problem in the past have really not solved that problem, ... Face the Nation.

I will fight it in public and I will fight it in private.
Look, I am seeking my party's Whip position. Would I take that job then leave my party in the lurch by running for President?
If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual (gay) sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery, ... You have the right to anything. Does that undermine the fabric of our society? I would argue yes, it does.
He has quite an admirable record of race relations in Mississippi and got the unanimous support of the African-American community in Mississippi, including the NAACP.
