"My friend, John McCain -- and he is my friend -- and Governor Palin love to call themselves maverick."

"Watch. We're going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy."

"You're seeing John McCain's campaign being so erratic, an angry man, a man who is lurching from one position to another."

"This is the most important election you've ever voted in your entire life."
