I would. And the reason is this, that the notion that somehow not talking to countries is punishment to them -- which has been the guiding diplomatic principle of this administration -- is ridiculous.

The fact is I don't take PAC money and I don't take lobbyist money and the bundlers, the reason you know who is raising money for me, Mike, is because I helped push through a law this past session to disclose that.

If children feel as if the fact that they have a different surname or they have got a different skin color is not going to impede their dreams, then I am absolutely confident that we're going to be able to move forward on the challenges…

The time for us to ask how we were going to get out of Iraq was before we went in.

At this point, I think we can be as careful getting out as we were careless getting in. But we have to send a clear message to the Iraqi government, as well as to the surrounding neighbors, that there is no military solution to the…

I believe in the core decency of the American people, and I think they want to get beyond some of our racial divisions.

We want an end to this war. And we want diplomacy and peace. Not only can we save the environment; we can create jobs and opportunity. We're tired of fear. We're tired of division. We want something new. We want to turn the page.

I prefer the word 'progressive,' which has a real American meaning, going back to the progressive era at the beginning of the 20th century. I consider myself a modern progressive.

I believe that there isn't much doubt in anyone's mind that I can be taken seriously.

The best estimate is that we can probably move a brigade a month if we really accelerate it, it maybe a brigade and a half or two a month.

I'm excited that I may -- you know may be able to finally break that hardest of all glass ceilings but obviously I'm not running because I'm a woman. I'm running because I think I'm the most qualified and experienced person to hit the…

My dad used to have an expression -- don't tell me what you value; show me your budget. And the budget we have here is we all dance around it. We need more revenue to be able to pay for the things the governor and everybody else talks…

At the risk of hurting his reputation -- and it will hurt him -- but I would pick Chuck Hagel, and I would consider asking Dick Lugar to be secretary of state.
