"I've thought about it, not a lot, but I thought my relationship with Congress - the Democrats and Re..." — Bob Dole

I just consider myself a Republican, none of this hyphenated stuff. I was a mainstream conservative Republican, and most people are in that category.

I really thought, with my background growing up, and my service, and all that, I thought it would be enough for the presidency. But... It sure was enough when I ran for Congress.

I will seek the presidency with nothing to fall back on but the judgment of the people of the United States, and nowhere to go but the White House or home.

I don't know how many people run for vice president and president and lose both.
