thinking maryland
I think George Mitchell was good for Maryland in the sense that he helped me get elected. It doesn't get any better than that from here on.
jobs thinking borders
In my state [ Maryland] we've lost jobs to NAFTA, we did not gain jobs from NAFTA. But I think it's very difficult when your state is right up against the northern border, you do see things differently.
thinking promoting
I think George Mitchell believed in promoting women.
integrity thinking has-beens
I think, though, with that whole sense of integrity and a lot of things that have been going on, the shared leadership rather than the titular head.
thinking ideas goes-on
George [Mitchell] introduced the idea that we'd go on a retreat [and] to really regularize caucuses. He's the one who had I think [Tom] Daschle become the Democratic Policy Committee chairman, so I think it lived through with Tom.
integrity thinking voice
I think the legacy was set because the way George Mitchell was the leader enabled Tom Daschle to be the leader he is. It carried on the spirit of integrity and of reform, of also working both with committee chairmen but bringing in the newer members to be able to have a voice and a say and participate in the deliberations, to always look at a modern way of doing it.
thinking wife heathers
I think Paul Sarbanes and his wife Christine socialized with them [George and Heather Mitchell] more than I did, but we all hung out, or we saw each other in groups.
father thinking alzheimers
My own father had died of Alzheimer's. George [Mitchell] had been also, I think, deeply moved by a similar tragedy.
stars men thinking
Senator [George] Mitchell is a man of many talents and he's swift on his feet, but one would not think of him as 'dancing with the stars.' And we had this great rock 'n' roll fund raiser.
thinking people leader
People had so much respect for George Mitchell. They wanted to cooperate with him. I think that's a hallmark of a very good leader.
thinking creating mind
I think leadership is creating a state of mind in others.
thinking numbers accomplishment
I think George Mitchell was the right guy for the right time, and many people will note his spectacular foreign policy accomplishments, both in and out of office. I think all would note his devotion to Maine; that was number one. The fact he did work in a bipartisan basis with Bill Cohen. And for me, he helped the first Democratic woman get elected.
absolutely gas hot maryland
We in Maryland are hot. We are absolutely hot about these gas prices,
best determination olympic senate sure united women
The women of the Senate are like the U.S. Olympic team: we come in different sizes, but we sure are united in our determination to do the best for our country!
