... I was asked to consider running for Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania... Why do I want to join a segment of society that I do not understand and have disliked all my adult life?... But Chelsea, you've just got to accept the nomination! This is a giant step for us women. You won't know if you could have won if you don't even try... Morgan, I feel this is the greatest challenge I will every have... I mean as a woman. Morgan, darling, I am going to run for governor... Let me think for a moment... I mad love to a lawyer, later I made love to a Chief Executive Officer and tonight I am going to make love to a candidate for governor... and who know?... But it's true, Mom. I have been looking at women's participation in the political process. It's sad that more women don't run for office... I don't want to debate the questions of ethics and honesty in politics with you, Chelsea. Politics is a very demanding, twisting, and personality-altering endeavor and sometimes what you do and say may seem very low-down and dirty... that's the game, if you want to play... you may have to alter your outlook... Do you ever feel pushed or intimidated by men, especially what we have learned to call, the good old boys? Judas, Dan, I just can't grasp the concept that everyone wants to sell his or her vote. What happened to the fighting spirit of this country?...

Exactly six months before election day, Dan became very ill... Dan had to have a kidney transplant if he was to live... Judas, I am thinking about being tested to see if my tissue matches Dan's... Chelsea, you can't do that!... I feel so inadequate that I can't have it all... Dan's life and the governorship of Pennsylvania..."
