There's a void of leadership in a lot of Washington. I think one of the reasons why there's so much angst across the country.

Washington isn't utterly dysfunctional.

A concrete agenda and landslide victory might not even guarantee a president his mandate in a capital as polarized as Washington.

The irony is that Washington was, in reality, very much like Benedict Arnold. The big difference was that Washington was ultimately able to control his emotions, something Arnold never learned to do.

I've never seen Washington as divided as we are right now.

Unlike in Washington, Virginia's leaders don't run from serious problems. We tackle them.

Of course people think Washington is arrogant. It is.

Everything about Washington is inconsistent, because they say one thing and do another, which is what my opponent, Claire McCaskill, is very, very good at.

American presidential leadership never goes out of style.
