I look at the issues that confront us and how that is distinguished
from somebody like Barack Obama, who, on a range of issues -- but
especially on the issues of deep moral principle -- has abandoned
the American declaration, has abandoned the statesmanship of Abraham
Lincoln, who came from Illinois. Barack Obama and others in the Democrat
Party have abandoned the very principles on the basis of which slavery
was abolished. And I think that that abandonment betrays the heart
of many Americans who are deeply committed to the American creed.
And that is the reason I have stepped into this race.
