My commitment to end the war is one that dates back to 2002. Senator Clinton's commitment to end the war dates back to her decision to run for president.

It's hard for me to get a sense of how we could be to blame for that situation. We have consistently said we'll play by whatever rules the DNC has laid out.

if I was just running the textbook campaign, doing the conventional thing, I probably wasn't going to win, because Senator Clinton was going to be much more capable of doing that than I would be.

I thought that, actually, Governor Bredesen of Tennessee had an interesting proposal, which is, as soon as we finish with the last primary, the superdelegates should schedule to get together, whatever remaining ones are uncommitted, and go…

My gut tells me that the people who were not going to be voting for me are not going to be voting for me after this speech and, even if they think that I made some good points, there are other reasons why they're not going to vote for me.

If I was just running the textbook campaign, doing the conventional thing, I probably wasn't going to win, because Senator Clinton was going to be much more capable of doing that than I would be.

I absolutely think that some of the language was unpatriotic.

We feel very confident that we're going to have won more states, we will have a higher portion of the popular vote. And I think we're going to have more pledged delegates.

the essence of my patriotism, the belief that America is constantly changing and constantly improving, and we will never be perfect, but we can -- we can move in the direction of perfecting our union.

Well, I think what is possible is for us to create a best case in Iraq in which the country is stable, we don't have active terrorist cells inside of Iraq. And that we have redeployed our troops in a safe, prudent and responsible way that…

That would be a victory for common sense. It would be a victory for a pragmatic foreign policy that will actually make us more safe.

I think that, as I said yesterday, his biggest failure was not to criticize America, because I think there has always been a tradition of patriotism through dissent.
