Considering the great job Senator Bingaman has done for New Mexico, it comes as no surprise that Elizabeth Dole doesn't have the state on her radar screen.

Sen. Elizabeth Dole's decisions are made independent of Bob Dole.

Mrs. Dole's prospects have not changed. If Elizabeth Dole cannot beat George Bush, no one can.

From our standpoint, when you see a candidate of his caliber, you do what you can to help. Senator Dole is going to New Jersey to help an outstanding candidate who is running for an open seat.

I didn't know that senator Dole had followed it that close. I was thrilled. He really knew quite a bit about our recruiting.

Considering the fact we have been thin or illiquid in some areas in the market it wouldn't surprise me if there had been some hedge fund selling.
