Talk Of…

Our constituents will look at us as the folks that slowed it down (and) added a bunch of spending to it

We didn’t block the proposal, we just said there’s a better way to go and there’s an alternative

I’m hopeful that I have chosen the right path, I made my decision on what was best for New Mexico and what’s best for America

“By winning a majority of delegates and a majority of the states, Barack Obama won an important Super Tuesday victory over Sen. Clinton in the closest thing we have to a national primary”

“From Colorado and Utah in the West to Georgia and Alabama in the South to Sen. Clinton’s backyard in Connecticut, Obama showed that he can win the support of Americans of every race, gender and political party in every region of the country”

“That’s why he’s on track to win Democratic nomination, and that’s why he’s the best candidate to defeat John McCain in November”

“But what we do know is over the last couple of weeks we have seen the message that I’ve been delivering about changing how the economy is operating so that it’s not tilted towards the wealthy but working families”

“I think that the debate that we had about Iraq on Tuesday in Los Angeles, obviously the support that we have gotten from people like Senator Kennedy has generated a lot of energy on the ground.”

“I still think that Senator Clinton is the favorite. She had 20- to 30-point leads in many of these states. We’ve been closing some ground and my guess is that we’ll have a good night and we’ll probably end up having to split this”

I think McCain has an animus toward the Republican Party

I think ever since South Carolina 2000 he’s had it in for the Republican Party, and one of his objectives is to destroy it and change it

John McCain has stabbed his own party in the back, I can’t tell you how many times

“I know that I can win the presidency once I win your nomination”

“I hope I am not too confident about Tuesday”

“I assume that I will get the nomination of the party”

Our dog Flash has been limping for the last week or two, so we took him to the vet today. It turns out he has cancer. We have another appointment on Tuesday to find out how bad it is, and what we can do for him.

I know to many of you he is just a dog, but he’s a part of our family and I would appreciate some prayers if you’re so inclined.

“Many people walk through your life and very few people leave footprints on your heart”

“She left footprints on my heart, and now we can all leave our footprints on her star”

“She’d love it”
