You want to disavow labels and project centrist attitudes. Hoosiers pride themselves on being people of moderation and common sense.

That's common sense. We're not there yet.

We're getting better at this. But we still haven't proved we are safe.

(Collegiate volleyball) is going to be a lot more competitive. I'm looking forward to the experience.

It's important to both Secretary Baker and me that we not raise expectations here. We know that whatever we do will be difficult. We really do not yet know how difficult this task will be.

I'm surprised, I'm disappointed and maybe even a little depressed that we did not do better four years after 9/11. It says we're still very vulnerable.
