William Daley Al Quotations

People will begin to see the strength that's in Al Gore,

More voted for Al Gore than Gov. Bush,

We are obviously gratified by the unanimous ruling of the Florida Supreme Court, ... The Supreme Court's clear and unambiguous ruling, that the counties are authorized to proceed with the manual recount, is a victory for everyone who wants to see the votes counted fully and fairly here in Florida.

We need Congress to consider financial relief (for businesses) to make it more competitive,

Governor Bush said that under our system of government the legislative branch passes the laws, the executive branch administers the law. Unfortunately, he left out one important branch of our government, the judicial branch, which has the responsibility of interpreting our laws and reconciling conflicts between statutes.

l can give them the assurance as I work with them that this campaign will be sensitive to their issues and their concerns, ... They're a major piece of this campaign. More important than what I can do, they know that Al Gore represents working men and women.

I don't think you play it safe. I think you try to be very natural and lay out in a forward way the compelling reasons for the election going your way,

We continue to explore the possibilities of what can be done to remedy the unfairness of thousands of residents of Palm Beach County who believed they were voting for Al Gore, but had those votes calculated for Pat Buchanan, ... Our legal team has determined that the ballot in Palm Beach County was unlawful.

He knows that he can't solve a lot of the world's problems. He can't solve AIDS, he can't solve the global warming problem, but he can feel and make sure that people's quality of life is addressed by the city government,

Vice President Gore and Senator (Joe) Lieberman are fully prepared to concede and to support Governor Bush if and when he is officially elected president.

But at the same time, he will fight on those issues that he believes are important to working families and is not going to just roll over because people and special interests want to stop him,

He didn't want to be governor, senator, president, vice president, cabinet member, none of that. His focus is totally on one thing - it's always been the city.

It's a totally separate situation... the interagency process made a decision that it was not an appropriate sale, that's all, ... It's unfortunate to see a U.S. company lose an opportunity that would mean jobs here. But the interagency process worked and I believe Hughes will have other opportunities to sell their satellites.

The Commission is an impressive and diverse group, with members steeped in finance, law, economics, and market regulation. With the support of the Chamber, we will have a real opportunity to outline beneficial changes to the oversight of our capital markets.

Without being certain of the results in Florida, we simply cannot be certain of the results of the national election,

If the will of the people is to prevail, Al Gore should be awarded a victory in Florida and should be the next president of the United States,

Now that the legal hurdles have been cleared, the counting can resume in Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade Counties ... with these legal obstacles gone, we hope these counts can be finished in the next few days,

There were differences. It was ironic that the governor talked about foreign policy and basically supported every foreign policy endeavor of the Clinton-Gore administration ... it's pretty easy to know something about foreign policy when you agree with the other guy the whole time.

Someone said he should smile more in the practice session. On the walk on the beach with a number of (advisers) they had specific ideas on issues they thought their counterparts in communities would respond to.

Today's data showing e-tail sales strengthening in the first quarter, even as total retail sales fell, indicates the continuing growth and viability of the online economy, ... The growing role and importance of online commerce is closely tied to the extraordinary vigor and innovativeness of America's information technology sector. Both are factors in the great length and strength of our current expansion.

Our legal team has concluded the ballot was unlawful, ... I assume that this is an issue that will end up in dispute.

not just a victory for Al Gore and his millions of supporters. It is a victory for fairness and accountability in our democracy itself.
