Tonight I congratulate the other candidates for their strong campaigns here in Iowa. One of them will wind up carrying the banner of the great Democratic Party in this election, and they will have earned it, and I will support that candidate in any way that I can.

- Richard Gephardt

We came from behind and we came for the fight. And now, I have a special message for the special interests that have a home in the Bush White House: We're coming, you're going, and don't let the door hit you on the way out.

- John Kerry

I came here a year ago with a belief we could change the country with a belief in the possibility, with a belief the politics of hope could overcome the politics of cynicism. The people of Iowa confirmed their belief in this positive, uplifting vision of America.

- John Edwards

I used to be the frontrunner when I went out to Iowa, but I'm not the frontrunner anymore. New Hampshire has a great tradition of supporting the underdog. So guess what? Let's go get him.

- Howard Dean
