As someone who has led his party through two general elections, I have not always been immune from feeling the pressure of electioneering tactics.

I've voted in every election - not always for the same political party and never with any degree of enthusiasm.

I learned more about elections on election night 2000 than I ever did during my 16 years of schooling.

When I finished my term, I thought about running for governor then but decided not to because, frankly, I didn't think I was ready. I wasn't comfortable that I was prepared to do the job.

I think it's fair to say I feel much more comfortable in business than in politics.

It is certainly not unrealistic to think we could have elections by mid-year 2004 and when a sovereign government is installed - my job here will be done.

I think you gotta go forward with the things you campaigned on.

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.

I voted for Obama and I was delighted that he's been elected.
