Solutions-oriented campaigning with a little passion and a little humor; I think that will go a long way. I think people are desperate for it.

Some campaigns are not worth waging if you can't win; others have to be fought on grounds of principle regardless of the chances for success.

The hardest thing about any political campaign is how to win without proving that you are unworthy of winning.

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

One of the biggest issues for me is campaign finance reform.

We will face the challenges head on. We will work with both parties, across the aisle, to make our state better.

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.

When we win, it will tell every politician in America that if you are bold, if you do the right thing, if you tackle the tough issues, there will be people standing there right with you.

All in all this is a difficult political struggle which will go on for years, in which our people won't die anymore; I'm not sure how much we will be able to win, but I'm certain that we won't loose anything that we have now.

The important things that in a campaign we talk about, let us not forget that once the election is over.
