"...in the shadow of the Old State Capitol, where Lincoln once called on a divided house to stand together, where common hopes and common dreams still live, I stand before you today to announce my candidacy for President of the United States. I recognize there is a certain presumptuousness - a candidacy for President of the United States, I recognize there is a certain presumtuousness - a certain audacity - to this announcement.
