"Today’s Republican Party believes in two sets of rules: one for millionaires and billionaires, and another for the middle class. And this year, they’ve nominated the strongest proponent---and clearest beneficiary---of this rigged game: Mitt Romney. Never in modern American history has a presidential candidate tried so hard to hide himself from the people he hopes to serve."
--- Harry Reid

"If Mitt was Santa Claus, he'd fire the reindeer and outsource the elves."
--- Fmr. OH Gov. Ted Strickland

"What's missing from the Romney-Ryan plan for Medicare is Medicare."
--- HHS Sec. Kathleen Sebelius

"Women still earn just 77 cents for every dollar men make. Those pennies add up to real money. … Maybe 23 cents doesn't sound like a lot to someone with a Swiss bank account, Cayman Island Investments and an IRA worth tens of millions of dollars. But Governor Romney, when we lose 23 cents every hour, every day, every paycheck, every job, over our entire lives, what we lose can't just be measured in dollars."
--- Lilly Ledbetter

"Tonight I want to talk to you about a scary subject for many, many Republicans. I want to talk about facts."
--- Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn
-
"Facts are facts: No president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the Great Depression inherited a worse economy, bigger job losses or deeper problems from his predecessor. But President Obama is moving America forward, not back."
--- MD Gov. Martin O'Malley
-
"There was no blueprint or how-to manual for fixing a global financial meltdown, an auto crisis, two wars and a great recession, all at the same time. Believe me, if it existed, I would have found it. Each crisis was so deep and so dangerous; any one of them would have defined another presidency. We faced a once-in-a-generation moment in American history. Fortunately for all of us, we have a once-in-a-generation president."
--- Rahm Emanuel

"My fellow Democrats, my fellow Texans, my fellow Americans: I stand before you tonight as a young American, a proud American, of a generation born as the Cold War receded, shaped by the tragedy of 9/11, connected by the digital revolution and determined to re-elect the man who will make the 21st century another American century---President Barack Obama!"
--- San Antonia Mayor Julian Castro
-
"I’ve worked on a lot of fun movies, but my favorite job was having a boss who gave the order to take out bin Laden---and who’s cool with all of us getting gay-married. Thank you, invisible man in the chair, for that, and for giving my friends access to affordable health insurance and doubling funding for the Pell grant."
--- Kal Penn

"Last week, Mitt Romney had a chance to show his support for the brave men and women he is seeking to command. But he chose to criticize President Obama instead of even uttering the word "Afghanistan." Barack Obama will never ignore our troops."
--- Tammy Duckworth
-
"Republicans mocked our desire to heal the planet, but we will heal it for Republicans too, and we will create jobs for Republicans too."
--- Rep. Jared Polis (CO)
-
"My message is this: it is time for Democrats to grow a backbone and stand up for what we believe! Quit waiting for pundits or polls or Super PACs to tell us who the next President or senator or congressman will be! We are Americans! We shape our own future!"
--- Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick
-
"If farmers and blacksmiths could win independence from an empire...if immigrants could leave behind everything they knew for a better life on our shores...if women could be dragged to jail for seeking the vote...if a generation could defeat a depression, and define greatness for all time...if a young preacher could lift us to the mountaintop with his righteous dream...and if proud Americans can be who they are and boldly stand at the altar with who they love...then surely, surely we can give everyone in this country a fair chance at that great American Dream. Because in the end, more than anything else, that is the story of this country: the story of unwavering hope grounded in unyielding struggle."
--- Michelle Obama

"I'm Craig Robinson, Michelle Obama's big brother, father of four and head coach of Oregon State University's men's basketball team. Any seven-footers out there, gimme a call!"
--- Craig Robinson
