p. 18: Still, every time I hugged another sobbing friend or one stoically blinking back tears, which was almost worse I had to fight back a wave of sadness that threatened to swallow me whole. At every step, I felt that I had let everyone down.
p. 41: Until you experience it, its hard to comprehend the ache in your gut when you see things going wrong and cant figure out how to fix them; the sharp blow when the results finally come in; the disappointment written on the faces of your friends and supporters.
p. 46: This isnt easy or fun. My mistakes burn me up inside.
p. 72: The controversy over my emails quickly cast a shadow over our efforts and threw us into a defensive crouch from which we never fully recovered.
p. 120: A lot of people said they just didnt like me.
p. 124: Ive tried to adjust. After hearing repeatedly that some people didnt like my voice, I enlisted the help of a linguistic expert.
p. 386: I blamed myself. My worst fears about my limitations as a candidate had come true.
p. 425: None of the factors Ive discussed here lessen the responsibility I feel or the aching sense that I let everyone down.
