I will go on doing what voters tell me to do, which is working with others, working out solutions, and getting results.

There is only one thing that gives me hope as a Republican, and that is the Democrats. It's going to be hard to do a worse job running American than the Republicans have, but if anybody can do it, it's the Democrats.

I'm going to be fighting to rebuild the Democratic party no matter what. I'm going to be fighting to make sure the Democratic party is known among working people that we are their champion no matter what.

I've thought about it, not a lot, but I thought my relationship with Congress - the Democrats and Republicans - would help me get some things done. Not everything, but at least they'd be willing to try.

We're doing exactly what the Republicans don't want: getting more people involved in our democracy. Giving more Americans a voice in their future.

What I'd like to do is be able to work with Democrats to reform current entitlement programs for future generations, grandfathering all the grandparents.

Look how many millions of people are underemployed or have lost their jobs. The last thing I'm going to do is play politics with their future.

Sooner or later, I need to begin to do what any candidate does in a presidential race; I need to begin to win.
