I think the Presidency itself is such a powerful office that there is no reason to feel threatened.

Yes; if I am elected, we'll be ready with a complete post-election transitional plan.

I would choose the boring convention.

I can't say that any more.

I would like to retain, as much as possible, the personal interrelationship with voters.

The careful planning, the broad scope of my effort, the complete commitment of myself and my family and supporters will be the same.

I think the Founding Fathers expected the President to be the leader of our country.

I believe I could prevent that disharmony occurring by being more heavily involved in the evolution of basic commitments.

I think the best approach is to buy what's necessary to meet the strategic security needs of our country and to meet our legitimate obligations to our allies.

I intend to use the Vice President in major roles.

I can't imagine a basic strategic difference developing between myself and one of my Cabinet members if the understanding were that we worked toward the long-range goals.

I will open up as much as I can of the deliberations of the Executive Branch of government to public scrutiny.

I think I can do a better job now of being aggressive and innovative and dynamic as a leader.

I favor strong sunshine legislation, and I will pursue that aggressively through Executive order.

I think the Democrats, and indeed the nation, are looking for an end to distrust.

The degree of strength of the White House is probably proportionate to the confidence and trust of the people in the office of President.

I'm sure that your own relatively minor handicap of having one withered hand would not be an obstacle to employment.

I would certainly not form a secret White House 'palace guard.'
