I think it is wrong for the president of the United States to play politics with terrorism.

I do not believe that terrorism is an empty threat. I think terrorism is a very serious problem. I think it is wrong for the president of the United States to play politics with terrorism.

I am concerned every time something happens which is not good for President Bush, he plays his trump card which is terrorism.

The trouble the president is in is over the scandal at Abu Ghraib, the torture, it's the memo that the Justice Department wrote saying it was OK to torture people.

You're going to see push polling. You're going to see rumors. It is going to be a really difficult tough race. These are mean nasty people on the right side of the political equation here.

I have long advocated that you do not lie down in front of the extreme radical right, but you hit them right back as hard as you can.

We need to start talking about race to the general audience in this country.

The American people have already decided, the majority of them, that they might not want to retire George Bush for four years.

The election is going to be won or lost on the economy.

All Iraq can do is hurt the president because it's his credibility is the issue.

The economy is going to be won or lost -- excuse me -- the election is going to be won or lost on the economy.

The reason Kerry beat me and everybody else in Iowa and went on to win the nomination is ultimately Democratic voters decided that in a match with George Bush, John Kerry's military experience and his ability to think about foreign policy…

I think it is going to be ugliest race that we have seen in a long time...

This is the seventh convention I've been to. I've long learned that platforms don't mean anything.

Everybody knows what George Bush has done to this country: half-trillion-dollar deficits, a war with no understanding of why we're there since the president didn't tell us.

One of two people is going to be president of the United States, John Kerry or George Bush. I believe that John Kerry would be a far better president, far better in foreign affairs, far better in balancing the budget, bringing jobs back to…

John Kerry really does have a strong environmental policy. That was never in dispute at any time during the campaign.

I'll support just about anybody that can help the country and anybody who's appropriate.

In the long run, negative ads also drive down President Bush's ratings.

But this is not the year for a third party. Ralph Nader's contributed an enormous amount to this country. And for some inexplicable reason he seems determined to wreck his legacy. Another four years of George Bush is the end of Ralph…

Can he deliver the Nader vote to John Kerry?

This is not the year for a third party. Ralph Nader's contributed an enormous amount to this country. And for some inexplicable reason he seems determined to wreck his legacy.

Another four years of George Bush is the end of Ralph Nader's 40-year legacy of environmentalism and consumerism. I don't understand why he's running and I wish he weren't.

His argument makes no sense whatsoever. And he's clearly not going to take more votes away from George Bush than he is from John Kerry, which is what his argument is.

Look, there are going to be one or two people that are going to be president of the United States: John Kerry or George Bush.
