He has run an office with innovative programs that have been replicated by many district attorneys across the country. He's had broad support in Brooklyn.

Several horsemen have told me that we have the best horsemen's office they have seen in the country.

I hope President Bush will spare the country the divisiveness of a controversial nomination for such an important office. But if that's the route he chooses, pro-choice Americans are ready for the fight.

My kind of loyalty was loyalty to one's country, not to... its office holders.

All the horsemen I've spoken to, don't have a problem with it.

He's the real deal. I think I have a very good horse. He's the type of horse that gives me that confidence he can do it. My job right now is to do the very best I can for him. One thing that's different from my Olympic experience, I was on the horse and had to do it myself. I have no control once the race starts now.
