I decry racism and anti-Semitism in every form and strongly condemn the anti-Semitic statements made by Minister Farrakhan.

American voters said that knowing how America works is more important than knowing how Washington works. And what we're going to see in the next few days is a Democrat saying that they're the party of change. You're going to hear Hillary…

And tonight is a victory of optimism over Washington-style pessimism.

Romney is a former business executive, something of an expert in turnarounds and voters there hope that he can turn around their economy if he were to become president.

Tonight proves that you can't tell an American that there's something they just can't do, because Americans can do whatever they set their hearts on.

But guess what they're doing in Washington? They're worrying, because they realize, the lobbyists and the politicians realize, that America now understands that Washington is broken.

I want to ask Senator Obama to join me in doing something. You know, we both very much want to convince President Bush, which is not easy to do, in the remaining year to end the war in Iraq, to change direction.

I do think that being president is the chief executive officer. And I respect what Barack said about setting the vision, setting the tone, bringing people together.

Tonight, my friends, he congratulate another candidate's campaign, but tomorrow we get up and fight. Now it's your turn, South Carolina. We're going to fight for your votes; we're going to win this primary and the nomination of our party…

My friends, we fell a little short tonight, but we have no cause to be discouraged or to second guess what we might have done differently. We did what we always do, we went to Michigan and we told people the truth. We always tell them the…

I congratulate Governor Romney on his victory tonight. He and his campaign worked hard and effectively to make sure that Michigan voters welcomed their native son with their support.

As president of the United States, I will herald a new day for Michigan.

We eliminate this wasteful, disgraceful, earmark pork-barrel spending in Washington, and there will be plenty of money to go around for the right things, and not the wrong things.

He's been gone since he was a kid.
