We've got a close eye on Washington state. It seems to me that people there are rejecting the Republican agenda.

The Republican Party believes that people shouldn't leave their moral and spiritual beliefs at the door of the polling place. We're just appealing to one of our constituencies, just as the Democrat Party does. ... The Democrats may feel it's more profitable to go and do voter registration drives at a homosexual convention. We feel more comfortable going to churches.

We're always confident that we're going to win. But Monroe-Woodbury has a big advantage with home ice and I hear they are a better team than last year. We're going to have our hands full. We will feel good if we can get a win.

The rhetoric in general on both sides often had little connection to the facts.

The Bush campaign was all about national security. [Campaign members] implied ... that a vote for Kerry would put you in danger.
