I was not a Democrat; I was an independent. Here's the thing: You can't win that way. But I didn't know that.

I am ashamed of some of Democrats in my own party.

I always tell people I'm running against two Democrats, one that admits it and one that does not.

I didn't realize that running as an independent would be perceived as a threat to the Democrats.

I've been a Democrat all my life.

I'm a Democrat, and I have strong reasons for being a Democrat.

I am a Democrat. I have been one all of my life.

I am a Democrat. But I am an independent Democrat.

I am, you know, a Democrat through and through. I've always voted Democratic. You know, that is where my heart lies.

I said when I came into office that I don't want to be a great leader; I want to be a good democrat.
