I think what we saw in John Kerry last night was a strength of conviction, a vision that we want to see in the president of the United States, ... I think he looked and sounded like a commander-in-chief. to be honest with you, I think the American people saw the John Kerry that I know. This man is ready to keep this country safe. He is ready to finish the job and be successful in Iraq.

I think the race is clearly narrowing. If you look at the results in Tennessee and Virginia tonight and look at the results of the week before where I won in South Carolina and I beat Sen. Kerry in Oklahoma, this is becoming very focused, ... He's in front and I'm the underdog. We're going to have a tough contest here in Wisconsin but this is going to go on for weeks to come.

I was honored this morning to receive a call from Senator Kerry asking me to join his ticket, ... I was humbled by his offer -- and thrilled to accept it.

Absolutely not. John Kerry and I are friends, I have enormous respect for him. But there are real differences and we present real choices.

The truth of the matter is John Kerry has what it matters right here,

I know that John Kerry will make this country stronger and more secure for my children and for your children, ... And he will build an America that's stronger at home and respected in the world.

I know John Kerry well, ... I spent six years working with him in the Senate, and we spent a lot of time on the campaign trail together. And I'll tell you one thing: He has what it takes inside to be president of the United States -- backbone, strength, courage, heart.
