We need our base to turn out, just like Karl Rove used to say that it was so important for George W. Bush to turnout.

The Public Record
There's a difference between rumor, innuendo, and smears... If she says something in the public arena, that is fair game.
This is why George W. Bush is president of the United States and was re-elected, because the red is Republican and, except for Pennsylvania, he carried all those states.
She is winning in states she needs to win to become president of the United States, states Democrats need to win, like West Virginia, like Ohio, Pennsylvania.
If Hillary Clinton runs it up big in West Virginia, runs it up big in Kentucky, is in the end, in the end, what she's doing is essentially highlighting Barack Obama's biggest weakness.
Her argument to the superdelegates is, you want me to go against John McCain, not Barack Obama.
If she somehow wins both contests next Tuesday, the Democratic Party is going to have a 'holy fill in the blank' moment.
If she somehow wins both contests next Tuesday the Democratic Party is going to have a holy fill in the blank moment and not know what to do next.
That is the biggest change in this election. Back at the beginning of the year, Anderson, there was no doubt Republicans wanted Hillary Clinton. They thought if nothing else, she would motivate the Republican base.
Politics is about branding. And at this moment John McCain -- look the fundamentals still favor the Democrats in this race enormously.
If you are going to disenfranchise Michigan and Florida, you're going to hurt the party in November.
Senator Clinton will go on. If she wins Pennsylvania, she will go on. But what they know she needs in her campaign is a big win to go on.
Hillary Clinton must win, and must win significantly in Pennsylvania.
Iraq is an issue in terms of what do we do about this war that now roughly 2/3 of the American people think was a bad idea?
Abu Ghraib was the humiliation of prisoners that turned out to be the humiliation of the United States of America.
Any new president of the United States will find himself or herself having to change some of the things he or she promised in the campaign based on simple reality or political calculations. That's a fact. It happens to every president.
If the Democrats can succeed in saying this would be a third Bush term, this guy may never bring the troops out of Iraq, then McCain will lose.
Look, he is favored out in the Wyoming caucuses. He is favored overwhelmingly Mississippi, which is a week from yesterday, so six days from now, because of the African-American vote.
If she can't win the big ones, Anderson, there will be enormous pressure on Senator Clinton to get out.
I think Senator Clinton very well understands the stakes. And she tried to make her points on health care, on the economy, that she is the one who will fight for more of those lower income, lunch bucket Democrats, if you will.
But if you ask a liberal Democratic primary voter what is the fundamental test for the next commander in chief, they would say ending the war in Iraq.
If he can get a lead like that among the pledged delegates and we get to the end of this map, at that point the super delegates will be under enormous political pressure to essentially accept the Democratic will of Democratic voters.
He needs to win Ohio and Texas to stop this momentum, or else the delegate math becomes incredibly daunting.
The tone of the debate back in the summertime where illegals are not welcome, illegals, let's round them up and kick them out, that was not the majority view of those in the debate, but it was the vocal view of those in the debate.
