Every race I've been in, I calculated race into the equation. If you're in America, you calculate it into the equation. It is a factor. I never make it an issue. I don't run the campaign wearing it on my sleeve, but I don't run away from it, either.

I want to be elected on my own ability. Only then do you have progress... People should not use race as a basis for labelling me.

There's an old saying in politics: You never run the same race twice. Democrats are running the same race three, four, five times. It's an old ploy, and Coloradans see through it.

Race is still real and you got to recognize it.

Every race is totally different.

I never though much about race.

The country has come a long way in race relations, but the pendulum swings so far back. Everyone wants to be so sensitive.

Clearly, the Obama presidency hasn't wiped out racial prejudices.

I don't believe in blanket statements on race.
