“If you want to persuade people, you've got to talk with your heart. You've got to talk about why your policies matter to them.”

“If Scott Brown can win in a state that President Obama won by 26 points, I can win in a district that Obey won by just 20 points against an unknown, underfunded challenger in the Democratic landslide of 2008. It means there is not a single Democrat in the country who is safe.”
