The early states are critical to us because I am not as well-known as Senator Clinton.

I meet too many seniors all across the country who are struggling with the limited Social Security benefits that they have.

The politics of hope doesn't mean hoping that people aren't going to point out differences between you and other candidates.

I am sick and tired of Democrats thinking that the only way to look tough on national security is by talking and acting like George Bush Republicans.

We have a chance to bring the country together in a new majority.

I don't want to wake up four years from now and find out that millions of Americans still lack health care because we couldn't take on the insurance industry.

I am in this race to tell the corporate lobbyists that their days of setting the agenda in Washington are over.

I am running in this race because of what Dr. King called 'the fierce urgency of now.'

The name George W. Bush will not be on the ballot.

That's wrong for America's children, and American families.

I'll be a President who stands up for the American family.

You shouldn't have to lose your wages or quit your job to care for a newborn baby, or a sick child, or an elderly parent.

You shouldn't have less opportunity because you are a single mom.

As the son of a single mother, I don't accept an America that forces women to choose between their kids and their careers.

I believe I can bring this country together in a way that she can't.

I think that the day I'm inaugurated, the world will look at America differently.

I will bring this war to an end as quickly as can be done with the safety of the troops in mind.

I'm telling the CEOs it hurts America when they cash out and leave workers high and dry.
