"The skeptics predicted we wouldn't get very far. The cynics dismissed us as a lot of hype and a little too much hope. And by the fall, the pundits in Washington had all but counted us out. But the people of Iowa had a different idea." - Barack Obama

• Vote for this Quote! • May 21st, 2008“It’s heartbreaking... I had just spoken to Ted two days ago, right after the seizure, and he seemed in great spirits. I think you can argue I would not be sitting here as a presidential candidate, had it not been for some of the battles that Ted Kennedy has fought. So not only is he a personal friend, not only has he been among the most important supporters during the course of this campaign, but he’s somebody who always has a kind word to say, always has good humor, even with his adversaries.” - Barack Obama on Ted Kennedy

I think that most of the American people would think that as well.” - Barack Obama, May 2008
