John Kerry

If he wants national security to be the key issue of this campaign, we do have three words for him we know he understands. Bring it on!

If Howard Dean dropped out, would you be willing to debate John Edwards one on one?

You don't win the presidency by being exclusive. You have to be inclusive. And you try build as big a tent as possible.

I'm proud that it's average Americans who have elected me. I'm proud that I've said no to the political action committee money.

There is nobody who knows me in Washington and nobody who has followed this issue who doesn't realize that I've been one of the leading champions in the United States Congress for campaign finance reform and for changing the way money…

I can do a better job than George Bush, of leading America to reconnect to its own ideals and values, win our friends and allies back, win respect and influence and do a better job of making America safe.

This is not a conservative Republican administration. This is an extreme radical administration.

I think you can't run for president cherry-picking states, picking up a delegate here or there. You have to run for president nationally. I've been the only one in recent weeks doing that and proving an ability to win nationally.

I want to make it clear that I am the strongest candidate to take on George Bush.

A Dean campaign guru talks about his plans to join team Kerry.

We're going to have the politics of the highest common denominator, not the lowest common denominator. We're going to turn this country around and put America back to work.

I just deny it categorically. It's rumor. It's untrue, period.

I noticed the first advertisement they're running is a negative one.

We haven't been able to trust what George Bush has told us about the war or about the economy. We certainly can't trust what he has to say about the special interests.

I have a message for the influence peddlers and the special interest and the special interests, special interests.

I decline to comment.

His bandwagon is steam rolling down the road. He's shown he can win in not just his home territory in New England, he can win in the Midwest, he can win in the Pacific Northwest, and he can win in the south.

They say this shows that the senator can win and connect with Democratic primary voters in the south.

And in this new report they say they're going to create 2.5 million jobs over the course of the next year. Well, I got a feeling this report was prepared by the same people who brought us the intelligence on Iraq.

Well, I've got a feeling this report was prepared by the same people who brought us the intelligence on Iraq.

This president has the worst jobs record of the last 11 presidents combined.

I don't know what the facts are with respect to the president's service. I know issues were raised previously. It is not up to me to talk about them or to question them at this time.

I don't know whatever happened to Governor Dean's positive campaign. But it's the shortest lived positive campaign I've ever seen.

And I predict today that, like father, like son, one term only. Bush is going to be gone.

I did what Jim Clyburn did and what Bill Clinton did, which is mend it. And Jim Clyburn wouldn't be supporting it if it were otherwise.
