John Kerry

If I win the nomination, we will be actively campaigning in the South. And there are states I'm convinced we can win.

It's the greatest form of flattery. Bring it on. Let's have this debate.

I think there's been a lack of accountability at the CIA. I regret it. I know him personally. But that's the nature of responsibility.

I expect to compete with the same underdog mentality, with the same quality of every vote counts. I'm going to fight for every vote.

What it's going to take to capture the South?

This is the Show-Me State. And we're here to show George Bush the door.

I'm thrilled to have Congressman Clyburn's endorsement.

You have to learn not to take it personally. And the one thing I was told is you are going to have to thicken your skin.

I'm not taking anything for granted.

I'm the nominee, that I'm not taking anything for granted, that I'm a fighter?

I will fight to the final hour.

If I win by one point, that will still be a victory.

If any of you in New Hampshire believe that with my record I would have taken the authority that we were given in order to get the inspectors in and have a legitimate threat of force and go to war as a last resort, if you think I would…

We have the money for tax cuts for people who earn more than $200,000 a year, but we don't have the money for our veterans. So ladies and gentlemen, this campaign is about making it clear not just to veterans, but to everybody in this…

Senator Kerry's aides say tonight the senator needs to do what he has been doing. They say they welcome the opportunity to have Kerry on the stage with the six other candidates.

He believes he is the one who has the national security and political experience to defeat President Bush in November.

So when you go to the caucuses, don't go there to send a message. Go there and send America a president of the United States, because that's what we need to do.

I've always said there are three tickets out of Iowa, and I'm looking for one of them. And we're going to try to do the best we can.

Measure any of the others, and their records with respect to national security, fighting for peace, fighting with respect to the choices of weapons and arms control and all of those things that matter in terms of security in the country…

I'm here to ask Iowa veterans to join in the veteran's brigade that is crisscrossing this state, to go to the caucuses next Monday.

And so he's going to increase the burden on middle class America.

Thank you for coming on a cold day that might even make you saddle up to Dick Cheney for warmth.

I don't know who has done this ad. And I can tell you unequivocally that I have nothing to do with it.

Obviously today is a big day, a monumental event, capturing Saddam Hussein. We are thrilled, all of us.

This president can't find Saddam Hussein. He can't find Osama bin Laden. He can't even find the leaker in the White House.
