This country was the moral leader of the world until George Bush became president.

Ralph Nader has contributed an enormous amount to this country, and, for some inexplicable reason, he seems determined to wreck his legacy. I think he's hell-bent to do this.

The way we're going to win elections in this country is not to become Republican lite. The way we're going to win elections in this country is to stand up for what we believe in.

I believe the right wing of the Republican Party is deliberately undermining the democratic underpinnings of this country,

The country deserves to know -- and the president needs to answer -- why the American people were presented with misleading or manufactured intelligence as to why going to war with Iraq was necessary.

I will work closely with John Kerry to make sure we beat George Bush in November and turn our country around.
