Well, I would never admit to copying Karl Rove's play book, but there's no doubt that what the Bush people did in 2004 was impressive. They had neighbors talking to neighbors. They did a remarkable job increasing Republican turnout in states like Ohio and Florida. ↗

You can't just have slogans, you can't just have catchy phrases. You have to have an agenda.

I consider myself a moderate Republican. I have very, very moderate social views, and I'm pretty strong on, on defense matters. ↗

McCain needs Hillary to run because that's what keeps the Republican coalition together. She helps unite the Republican base. ↗
