A John McCain presidency would look very different in Iraq. It would look very much like George W. Bush in his policies.

The Democratic view is we'll sit down and talk about everything, including your nuclear ambitions.

The next president is going to inherit a heck of a lot of issues, of which Iraq is going to be one.

What you as a new president have to make sure is, that if this thing gets a lot worse, all the blame doesn't come to you, so you lose on your political stand.

When the new president comes in, it's very important to be very clear about what your goals are.

You need to do that now not once you get in the presidency.

I must say, this is one area where the candidates on both sides, John McCain and Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are all in favor of doing something about climate change.

You can only persuade the Americans. This is what John McCain has been saying, 'We will only sign an agreement in the United States if China and India also sign an agreement. Everybody does this together.'

The president has already pledged 3,000 and they think we ought to go far beyond that.

Basically that no candidate arrives at the convention with enough delegates to win the first ballot.

They have been looking for that for a long time. They do believe that she's the candidate they can beat.

He can't afford probably to have somebody that they are as suspicious of as they are of him.
