fellow candidates

at this defining moment for out nation we should be proud that our party has put together the most talented and qualified field ever to run for office.

i have not just competed with them as rivals. i’ve learned from them as friends, and public service and as patriots.

he graciously shouts out to hillary

“she has made history… she is a leader who inspires millions of americans with her strength, her courage and her commitment to the causes that she believes in.”

“what gets hillary up in the morning… an unyielding desire to improve the lives of ordinary americans no matter how hard the fight may be. when we win that fight she will be central to that victory.

having the honor to compete with hillary rodham clinton

independence from the party has not been the hallmark of his campaign.

he stood with bush 95% of the time in the senate

he has voted against good policies

• widened the gap btw wall & main st

he continues the war

• all we look for are reasons to stay
• the war isn’t making us any safer
• we spend millions a day

there are many words to describe john mccain to pass him off as bipartisan, but change is not one of them.

change is a better foreign policy.

ths war should never have been waged.

we can’t ignore al qaeda

meeting today’s threats requires not firepower but brainpower in diplomacy and cluture

tough direct diplomacy where the president of the us is not afraid to let any petty dictator know where america stands and what we stand for.

the courage and conviction to lead the free world

• roosevelt
• truman
• kennedy

we must be as careful getting out as we were careless going in

veterans must get care and benefits when they come home

leave we must

no mccain 100 years.

change for our downtrodden economy

that’s the change we need, minnesota !

health care too!!!

maybe if mccain went to pennsylvania he’d understand we can’t afford four more years of this energy policy.

that man needs to pass himself

four years

that is a debate i look forward to

• on the issues that will determine the future.

you don’t deserve is another election divided by fear or innuendo.

we won’t use religion as a wedge and patriotism as a bludgeon

this is our time

our time to turn the page on the policies of the past

our time to bring new energy and new ideas to the challenges we face

our time to offer a new direction for this country that we love

the journey will be diffeicult

the road will be long

i faced this challenge with profound humility and knowledge of my limitations but i also face it with liitless faith in the capacity of the american people

if we are willing to work for it and fight for it we will look at our kids and say this was the oment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and the planet began to heal – this was the moment – this was the time

record-breaking election turnout

at the end of the day you came out not because of us, you did it because you know in your heart that this is a moment that will define a generation.

we cannot afford to keep doing what we’re doing.

we owe our children a better future

let’s chart a new course for America.

the other side is NOT THE ENEMY.

despite what the good senator from Arizona may have said tonight I have seen people of different opinons find common cause many times.

a criminal justice system that’s sending innocent ppl to death row.

curb the spread of nukes.

we must have tax accountability.

lobbyists who set the agenda in washington.

in our country, this cooperation happens because behind false divisions and point-scoring in washington americans are a decent people united by common challenges and hopes.

every so often this country is great again.

so it was for that band of patriots who declared in that philadelphia hall the formation of a more perfect union.
