Chris Matthews on Barack Obama: “You know sometimes, Gene, he has that – he didn’t have it right there – but a minute ago he had that great, that little boy smile of his, which is so winning…He brings it out.”

Howard Dean: “If I was head of DNC, I would be quietly rooting for [a government shutdown].”
