Well, people across the country are saying that Washington is fundamentally broken and has to be changed.

It's going to take a person who is himself an innovator, like myself, who has the experience to bring change to Washington.

People across the country are saying that Washington is fundamentally broken and has to be changed.

My campaign has been about change from the very beginning.

I just don't think there's any way Washington is going to be changed if we just send back the same people, just give them different chairs.

My ads had been focused on issue differences between myself and the other candidates.

Having Barack Obama as the leader of the Democratic Party means that we're going to have to have somebody who goes up against him, who is not a long-term senator.

The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don't wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.

I've been talking about change this whole election. I talked about it when I was down 20 points in the summer. I talked about it when I was up. And now this change thing is catching on because you notice everybody's talking about change…

The real gamble in this election is to have the same old folks doing the same old things over and over and over again and somehow expecting a different result. That's a gamble we cannot take.

We'll hear from him and talk with his chief rival, Mitt Romney.

I wasn't disparaging the fact that he's a liberal Democrat. The fact is that he is of that philosophy and I'm of different philosophy.

One of those issues we're going to address immediately is the issue of climate change.

We're going to disagree sometimes but you're going to know I'm telling you the truth. You know I'm speaking from the heart.

I will get Osama bin Laden. If I have to follow him to the gates of hell, I will get him and bring him to justice.
