''For Fannie Lou Hamer; for Martin Luther King Jr.; for Emmett Till; Rosa Parks; Medgar Evers; Septima Clark; Malcolm X; and every living soul who cared about the right to vote, I thanked God for this miracle.''
In her book, Brazile recounts the conversation that Gore had with Brazile upon appointing her as his campaign manager. He told her: ''The reason I named you campaign manager is because you clearly know how to organize, you know how to put together a campaign. I want to focus on getting the campaign under control, removing all the factions we had. You report to me. I didn't hire you because you're Black; I hired you because you're the best.''
Now a sought-after pundit on television, Brazile says that she is focusing her energy on helping Democrats win the next election. She said that Democrats should remain true to their core values and resist attempts to move further to the right.
She said, ''We cannot misread this election and believe that we must become Republican-like.''
