I have worked closely with my Democratic allies. Elijah Cummings is a good friend.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have good relationships with Hillary Clinton, Joseph Biden and especially Richard Holbrooke - he is my teacher. I learned a lot of great things from him.
Obama and his associates are fantastic campaigners but have little ability or skill to govern.
I have the most reliable friend you can have in American politics, and that is ready money.
I have good friends who are politicians on both sides.
I've had great pleasure meeting the likes of Newt Gingrich and having a chat with the fellow on a staircase. I found him completely dishonest and totally likeable, because he doesn't care! He knows what a politician is, and he's a perfect embodiment of one.
I have great respect for President Bush, Secretary Powell and Secretary Ridge.
I have worked in every - every Democratic administration since the Kennedy administration, and I know dysfunctionality when I see it.
I'm from North Carolina, and I stand here humbled, honored, and proud to place in nomination for the office of vice-president of the United States of America, my friend and my senator from the great state of North Carolina: John Edwards.
I'm a friend of Colin Powell. We talk quite often.
I like a lot of my Republican colleagues, starting with my friend from Indiana, Senator Lugar. We've had an excellent relationship.
