Trust everyone - but cut the cards.

I believe that this country deserves the best that we have.

And I think the answer is pretty plain.

I hold the greatest possible confidence in this country.

I do not believe that we are doing enough.

For ours is a government of men, not of promises - and some men yield to temptation.

I believe in an independent Federal Reserve.

We have a chance to rejoin the world as a leader of the free world.

Thank God, Ohio has gone Democratic again.

The eyes of the people are fast opening, fight on.
