"Gephardt represents the things that will improve the quality of life in America.  He can make a difference.  He has a little bit of Clinton and he has a little bit of Gephardt and he has worked hard for education, for medical affairs, the environment, you name it, and the economy.

"I've watched Gephardt, the congressman, for many, many years.  I just didn't decide this week to get on; I've talked with his staff periodically for the last six months.  I just like his philosophy and I know that he can move America and create a different atmosphere...within our country."
