SEN. BARACK OBAMA, ADDRESSING SUPPORTERS IN RALEIGH, NC
"Tonight we stand less than 200 delegates from securing the Democratic nomination for president of the United States."
"I want to start by congratulating Senator Clinton on what appears to be her victory in the great state of Indiana."
"I want to thank, of course, the people of North Carolina. I want to thank them for giving us a victory in a big state, in a swing state, in a state where we will compete to win if I am the Democratic nominee for president of the United States."
"This fall, we intend to march forward as one Democratic Party, united by a common vision for this country."
"We can't afford to give John McCain a chance to serve out George Bush's third term. We need change in America and that's why we will be united in November."
SEN. HILLARY CLINTON, ADDRESSING SUPPORTERS IN
INDIANAPOLIS
"Tonight we've come from behind. We've broken the tie and, thanks to you, it's full speed on to the White House."
"No matter what happens, I will work for the nominee of the Democratic Party, because we must win in November. And I know -- I know that Senator Obama feels the same way, because we have been on this campaign trail now for a long time. And we know how desperately people want to see a change, and it will not be a change if the Republicans keep the White House."
"People are watching this race, and they're wondering, I win, he wins, I win, he wins. It's so close. And I think that says a lot about how excited and passionate our supporters are and how intent so many Americans are to really taking their country back."
"This has always been your campaign and this is your victory because your support has meant the difference between
winning and losing. We can only keep winning if we're able to keep competing against an opponent who does outspend us massively. So I hope you will go to HillaryClinton.com and support our campaign."
