Obama-Biden

Plan for Change Ad: "For many of you, our troubled economy isn't news."
DNC Acceptance 2008: "What the naysayers don't understand is that this election has never been about me; it's about you."
Speech in Berlin: "People of the world – look at Berlin, where a wall came down, a continent came together, and history proved that there is no challenge too great for a world that stands as one."
On Racism: "I chose to run for the presidency at this moment in history because I believe deeply that we cannot solve the challenges of our time unless we solve them together - unless we perfect our union by understanding that we may have different stories, but we hold common hopes."
Launching his campaign: "By ourselves, this change will not happen. Divided, we are bound to fail. But the life of a tall, gangly, self-made Springfield lawyer tells us that a different future is possible. He tells us that there is power in words. He tells us that there is power in conviction. That beneath all the differences of race and region, faith and station, we are one people. He tells us that there is power in hope."
DNC Keynote 2004: "There's not a liberal America and a conservative America; there's the United States of America. There's not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America; there's the United States of America."

DNC Speeches

Al Gore: "We have a candidate whose experience perfectly matches an extraordinary moment of transition."
Joe Biden: "Like millions of Americans, they're asking questions as -- as ordinary as they are profound, questions they never, ever thought they'd have to ask themselves."
Bill Clinton: "People the world over have always been more impressed by the power of our example than by the example of our power."
Hillary Clinton: "We cannot let this moment slip away. We have come too far and accomplished too much."
Michelle Obama: "All of us driven by the simple belief that the world as it is just won't do, that we have an obligation to fight for the world as it should be."
Ted Kennedy: "The work begins anew. The hope rises again. And the dream lives on."

McCain-Palin

John McCain : "You know, I've been called a maverick; someone who marches to the beat of his own drum. Sometimes it's meant as a compliment and sometimes it's not."
"He's the biggest celebrity in the world" Attack Ad

RNC Speeches

Cindy McCain: "From its very birth, our party has been grounded in the notion of service, community, self-reliance..."
Sarah Palin: "I've learned quickly, these past few days, that if you're not a member in good standing of the Washington elite, then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone... Here's a little newsflash for those reporters and commentators: I'm not going to Washington to seek their good opinion."
Mitt Romney: "What do you think Washington is right now, liberal or conservative? Is a Supreme Court liberal or conservative that awards Guantanamo terrorists with constitution rights? We need change all right — change from a liberal Washington to a conservative Washington."
Mike Huckabee: "Heck, I was in college before I found out it wasn't supposed to hurt to take a shower."
Rudy Giuliani: "At exactly the right time, John McCain said, "We're all Georgians."
Joe Lieberman: " The Washington bureaucrats and power brokers can't build a pen strong enough to hold these two mavericks."
Fred Thompson: "She has run a municipality and she has run a state. And I think I can say without fear of contradiction she is the only nominee in the history of either party who knows how to properly field-dress a moose."

We don't "torture"...

The military agency that provided advice on harsh interrogation techniques for use against terrorism suspects referred to the application of extreme duress as 'torture' in a July 2002 document sent to the Pentagon's chief lawyer and warned that it would produce 'unreliable information.'
