People can really have an impact on a campaign and learn an awful lot. It can be an enjoyable experience.

When I first started campaigning, I was really excited. Two-thirds of the way through, I thought, 'Why am I doing this?' Then I got really excited when I realized I was going to win.

Here's what I know about political campaigns: no matter what you map out at the beginning, it's always different at the end.

I think I know a lot about campaigns.

Since the beginning, it was just the same. The only difference, the crowds are bigger now.

A lot of times when people are on campaigns, it can be like a movie set.

It just seemed the timing of it was a little bit of pandering to the public at a time of an election.

People are moping around and I think campaigns can be about lifting the spirits of the American people.

What campaigns are for is weeding out the people who, for one way or another, weren't making it for the long haul.

When a campaign doesn't go my way, I always take a step back, look at the facts, and try to figure out what we could learn from that experience.
