He's running on a platform that's adjusted a little bit from the way that he was running in the early going in 2004, before he became the running mate.

He thinks that he's in a good place. So definitely had a real chance, a real shot at the nomination here.

John Edwards was very clear early on that her health came first and came first before any of his political ambitions.

We've committed to operate this house in a carbon-neutral way, which means, in addition to using energy-saving devices in the house itself, to the extent that doesn't cover it, we're going to purchase carbon credits on the market.

The only way that's going to happen is for America to stop enabling them, stop enabling their past bad behavior, and start pulling our troops out of Iraq so that they take responsibility.

I would take 40,000 to 50,000 out immediately. And then over the course of the next year to a year and a half, be in the process of withdrawing American troops and redeploying them.

What's missing here is the president is basically and fundamentally wrong. He seems to think that somehow if we put more troops behind what has been failing time and time again, that it will make it work. And I just think he's wrong.

I was surprised, when he -- especially at the end of the speech, when he was identifying a whole group of American heroes who were in the gallery. And I sort of got this sense inside of what Americans I think want, which is a sense of decency and goodness in their people and their president.

It is the responsibility of the president of the United States to lead when this kind of crisis and this kind of catastrophe occurs, and he hasn't done it.

If I were in charge and I were making decision alone, I think the primary responsibility of this Congress is oversight on what's happening and accountability on what's happening in Iraq.

Yes, sir. I'm ready to be president.
