It's sad they can only be negative. They have nothing to say about the future vision of America. I think Americans want a positive vision for the future.

This is all just a sideshow, and Scott having an affair has nothing to do with Laci.

It is the war in Iraq versus prescription drugs, President Bush versus John -- Senator Kerry.

In last few days you heard people in positions of leadership on the other side saying America has turned the corner. Well, it must have been a U-turn or else they're continually turning around and going around in circles and ending right…

The distortions of the other side are just stunning. You know, they say I want to repeal it. No, I don't want to repeal it. I want to fix it. I want to plug the hole, and I want to give every American a prescription drug benefit that works.

The hope is McCain will convince those moderate Republicans and swing voters who backed him back then to back Mr. Bush now.

This is a key position in fighting the war on terror and should not be left vacant. But the most important position is one that hasn't been created yet, national intelligence director, with real control of budgets and personnel.

Some people as I said the other day may see America's red states and blue states. I believe we need leadership that sees America as one country red, white and blue, period.

It's not about red states and blue states. It's about the red, white and blue. It's about the United States of America.

There is not a liberal America and a conservative America, there is the United States of America.

I would have handled the war differently if I were president.

It is an appropriate goal to have, and I'm going to try to achieve it.

It is a sad fact that one-third of the Native Americans have no health insurance at all. It is a sad fact that the life expectancy of Native Americans is less than other Americans.

Why did he rush to war without a plan to win the peace?

Yes, I would have voted for the authority. I believe it is the right authority for a president to have. But I would have used that authority, as I have said throughout this campaign, effectively. I would have done this very differently…

In the last few days, you've heard people in positions of leadership on the other side saying America has turned the corner. Well, it must have been a U-turn.

Basically over the last few of years, we've had a net negative loss of jobs in the United States of America. And the jobs that are being created pay $9,000 less on average than the jobs that we're losing overseas.
