REP. NANCY PELOSI:

I don't think — I think that people want to know what the election of a particular person means in their lives. What is your vision? What is your plan to get something done that affects me?

And I have always said, in my own rise in the leadership, please don't ever ask anybody to vote for me because I'm a woman. That happens to be, in my view, an enhancement, but, nonetheless, it's all about who is the best person for the job. Hillary Clinton is the best person for the job.

She will go into the Oval Office before prepared even than President Obama. He has said that himself. Better prepared than President Bush, George W. Bush. Better prepared than her own husband. Again, she has a vision, she has knowledge and judgment. She is a strategic thinker, based on her experience and her connection.

I know something about power, being the first woman speaker of the House. Actually, the legislative branch is the first article of the Constitution, and so president, vice president, speaker of the House, third highest. And, for me, it's particularly almost emotional to think that she will have that much power to help develop a consensus in our country and be the leader of the free world.
