John Kerry and I made a promise to the US people that in this election every vote would count and every vote would be counted. Tonight we are keeping our word and we will fight for every vote.

I want to be a champion for the people I have fought for all my life - regular people.

I don't think I look all that young. You've probably heard me say my scars are all on the inside.

When John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve are going to walk. Get up out of that wheelchair and walk again.

Someone who opposed efforts to remedy discrimination on the basis of sex and race, ... Someone who opposed measures to protect voting rights. ... The question now is, who is the real Judge Roberts?

Won't always use the same words. But we will always fight the same fight.

[Some other Democrats have called Roberts] outstanding ... very different young lawyer at work, a partisan for conservative causes.

The president of the United States actually has to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time.

I'd say if you live in the United States of America and you vote for George Bush, you've lost your mind.
