It will be about which candidate, which of the two candidates remaining, is best suited to make a positive difference in the lives of North Carolina families, and I submit to each of you tonight that I am that candidate and Elizabeth Dole is not.
I think that if we don't get these politicians to come together we face the most predictable economic crisis in history.
And I believe in having an administration that has clearly defined goals, objectives and time lines such that it and its people can be held accountable.
I believe in cooperating for the common good.
We live in a time today where we face fierce global competition.
