First, anyone who reads Roe v. Wade knows it is not an unfettered right. Clearly, at the later stages, Government can in fact restrict abortion. Secondly, the kind of talk we just heard on the Senate floor, where two Supreme Court Justices were essentially called murderers--if one reads back the words, it is essentially calling them murderers--I think is beyond inflammatory. I think it is dangerous rhetoric. It is wrong, and I am very sad that the debate has deteriorated to this point.

We Democrats, we do have a very good and diverse coalition. It truly is diverse, everywhere you look at it. But in terms of leadership in Congress, it is true, they’re getting older.

I think we have to pay attention to David Axelrod. He is really brilliant when it comes to winning campaigns.
