Summary
We won it the old-fashioned way - we earned it. Nearly two years ago, we started on this journey. By coming to you, where you live and work, by listening to you, by showing that we could disagree with each other without being disagreeable, by asking you to put your cynicism down, by refusing to build myself up by tearing anybody else down, by challenging you to see your stake in your neighbor's dreams and struggles as well as your own, we built what history will record is the broadest and best-organized grassroots organization this Commonwealth has ever seen.
Unfortunately, there is unpleasantness in any political campaign. This one had perhaps more than its share. But let's put that behind us. That is yesterday. I am not here to serve as governor of the winners. I am here to serve as governor of the whole Commonwealth.
