marks the first significant step forward in a campaign for president by John McCain.

Many, many Republicans and Americans yearn for a new kind of leadership, ... John McCain is unique in his ability to offer conservative, independent experienced leadership. That's why we believe he must seriously consider running for president in 2000.

Everyone is going to have to step up to the plate.

Certainly we know we've got a lot more to do, but this marks a significant advancement forward for preparedness in Arizona.

I can't stand John McCain.

This settlement is another significant step forward in our turnaround.
