I think we have to look at the whole way campaigns are financed. The No. 1 problem is PAC and special-interest money.

I don't think I would have to run a campaign that's financed like General Motors.

I know that campaigns can seem small, and even silly. Trivial things become big distractions. Serious issues become sound bites. And the truth gets buried under an avalanche of money and advertising. If you're sick of hearing me approve this message, believe me - so am I.

I think the best campaigns are campaigns of ideas and substance.

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

I have run campaigns. That doesn't make you the establishment.

My family has been around campaigns for a long time. It's something you really have to be sure that you alone want to do. Because if not, if you don't want to do it, that will just blow through the surface at some point, and people can tell. And when people can tell, it's all over.

The way campaign funds are distributed are all a matter of record.

I think I know a lot about campaigns.

I believe that the best way to campaign is one-on-one with people.
