"Al Gore has shown tremendous leadership in this historic selection. Senator Joe Lieberman is a wonderful choice. He embodies everything you could want in a Vice Presidential selection: intelligence, integrity, and moral courage. He is clearly qualified to be president."

"I have always considered Joe Lieberman a personal role model, and admire his commitment to putting people before partisanship. He is successful because of his willingness to build bipartisan consensus. I personally witnessed the conviction of his principles as we worked together this year on our education reform proposal, and on building the centrist Democratic movement in the Senate."

"I admire Joe Lieberman personally and professionally. He is more than a colleague, he is a friend."
