America has always been a Nation of great promise, a Nation of great hope; and I like to quote in my speeches the last four letters of the word ``American'' are ``I can.'' It's positive energy. It's promise that we all work toward, and the American people know it. It's great to be a part of a party of hope and promise for the American people. I say what a pleasure it has been to join my colleagues here this evening.
