be extremely destructive if for some reason they change the rules and if there is not the opportunity to filibuster.
We're trying to change that. I think from our perspective we want a primary and at the end of the day, if he (Spencer) thinks he's such a great candidate, he should want a primary, too.
To what do you attribute the victory of Todd-Whitman,
Either we bog down Hillary Clinton in 2006, in New York, or we give Hillary a free pass, let her build up chips around the country by helping other candidates, and walk out of New York with a big win and become unstoppable for 2008. Republicans have to get serious about a challenger to Hillary right now.
At the end of the day, we all basically work as a team to help the candidate. None of us are irreplaceable, but Adam probably comes as close as anyone could be.

Everybody in this race is against Obama, okay? So saying you're against Obama, against Obamacare, all the rest, it's all fine, well and good, except it doesn't move you forward.
What we won't become is a 'Democratic Party lite!' We are a party that wants smaller government and lower taxes. Obama and the Democrats do not. We are a party that wants to encourage small business. We are a party that has a large constituent group that believes in a social agenda and we will not abandon them.
I believe in sometimes getting mad and always getting even.
The Republican Party, which John McCain led as our nominee in 2008, is going to become irrelevant if we become the party of intolerance and hate. The party founded by Abraham Lincoln was a party that fought slavery and intolerance at every level.
There's no smarter politician out there than Bill Clinton.
