I was in elective politics for 24 years. I've made four national races, two for President, two for Vice President. I have found there are other ways to serve, and I'm enjoying them.

The President has only 190 million bosses. The Vice President has 190 million and one.

I won vice president of my student body in high school. That doesn't mean anything.

if need be, take the vice president to the wood shed.

No. 1, Halliburton. Certainly, if they've overcharged they should be whacked and whacked good, but the idea that the vice president somehow is involved in this, whether they got contracts because of him, that's nonsense.

Mission accomplished? The mission in Iraq, as laid out by President Bush and Vice President Cheney, has failed.
