In Washington, a program is never 'stake-through-the-heart' dead, but it's safe to say that the nuclear bunker buster is dead for at least three years.

Ivan Oelrich

(George Washington) is a talented ball club that plays very good defense. They come in fresh. They come in motivated. They love to break and get easy baskets, and we're going to have to form a cluster to rebound the ball.

John Chaney

A major concern is that this commission already dominated by Idaho -- a state long-opposed to the restoration of the 1,500-square-mile basin -- will overwhelm Washington state, the Coeur d'Alene Tribe and others advocating the cleanup of mine wastes.

John Osborn

It is all symptomatic of the pursuit of the demands of the Washington consensus.

Dennis George

The women ran tough today and to come within a couple of points against a very good Washington team proves that they ran well. Individually, I was happy with everyone, and Katie Leary in particular showed well today.

Vin Lananna

The Syrians are going to the negotiations in Washington with full seriousness and the intention that these conversations will bear fruit and succeed. They are very interested in having these talks begin and go in the right direction.

Azmi Bishara

We still have serious concerns, starting with the lack of a phase in approach being used. We will still be advocating for the interests of Washington County consumers in the same way under AEP as we did under (Allegheny) Power.

Ryan Lippe

This list enables everyone to take a lighthearted look back at 2005. We laughed at Tom Cruises' shenanigans on Oprah's couch and cringed when we learned of the Pitt/Aniston break up. From Washington to Hollywood, this was a roller coaster year that provided great material for our current list.

Rob Daviau

For all practical purposes, the Washington case is going to resolve the matter.

Karl Quackenbush

Too many early errors. It wasn't nerves, that's for sure. It was just one of those nights. If anything, I think the defense was too relaxed. We just played five high-intensity games (against Washington), and it just wasn't there tonight.

Glenn Wilson

Washington is a unique opportunity for my family.

Scott Barnes

I know Ed well and I think he'll do a fine job at OSHA. To do that job well you must have an understanding of how OSHA works and how Washington works, otherwise the career people will eat you alive.

Randel Johnson

If you grew up in Washington, D.C., you also know that there is no entertainment industry in this town, particularly not any local.

Ian Mackaye

Hopefully we can communicate once and for all the value of vocational education to federal officials. We made the trip to Washington, D.C., last year and we will do it again to demonstrate how effectively this money is being used.

Joseph Cammarata

[She joined Sheehan's protest and believes it helped rouse enough public opposition to the war to make it easier for politicians to demand a new Iraq policy. They hope that fervor will wash over a Sept. 24 anti-war rally in Washington and rock the capitol.] It should be easier for them now, ... The voice is there.

Celeste Zappala

It has only been in the last 10 years that this fault's significance has been understood. For the most part, Oregonians believe that Oregon doesn't have the kind of earthquake history that California or even Washington has.

Jay Wilson

This year Washington is playing outstanding basketball. We've continued to play well, so each year when we meet, they get bigger and bigger with more excitement. It's beginning to be a big rivalry.

Chris Rodgers

We have vastly different hopes and expectations, as far as the U.S.-Russia relationship is concerned, in Moscow and Washington. What we need, however, is to manage this troubled relationship -- we don't want this relationship to go out of control.

Dimitri Simes

Of course, we expect all the Washington Republicans, including the president, to come campaign for Mr. Hutchinson, but we're proud of all the support we have from Arkansas.

Zac Wright

Tom is the kind of guy that people want to go after because he plays politics to the hilt, and politics is a game in which every dog has his day. Clearly, Tom is in the eye of the hurricane, and a lot of people would love to see him out of Washington. But they can't run him out just because they don't like him. They're going to have to find a good reason.

Bill Frenzel

John started the season injured, then he went out to Washington to visit his father, so he was out of the loop. Then when he finally came back, he ran into a sickness. He?s been up-and-down all season for us, and obviously he came to play tonight. I feel really good for him.

Rick Brault

US efforts between now and March may have to be low profile, but Washington need not be dormant.

David Makovsky

This immigration system is broken. It's an emergency situation. That's why we're going to Washington.

Freddy Peralta

These kids are not being properly counted. I think the state of Washington has undeserved egg on its face.

Tom Mortenson

Democrats in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Washington, Ohio, Missouri and Florida plan to hold press conferences over the next several days to highlight the importance of a substantive discussion on issues affecting all Americans -- national security, homeland security and veterans' issues; education; environment and energy policies; the economy; health care; and equal opportunity for all.

Jeanne Shaheen

Boeing and related employment in Washington should grow at a healthy rate for at least the next two or three years.

Mike Parks

We're concerned that other states will look at Wisconsin and say, 'Hey, they got their caseload down,' without looking at what happened to those families [that slid off the welfare rolls], ... We've got our work cut out for us in making sure the lessons of Wisconsin make it to Washington.

Marcus White

We thought it was a better place to grow the kind of technical business we have, in terms of skills available, with the University of Washington as a research base and the level of technical expertise.

Guy Holliday

[Other than that, he shares the skepticism of many on Wall Street and the business world about what goes on in Washington.] At this point, politicians can only screw it up, because things are going so well, ... I try not to spend more than five minutes a year on politics.

Tom Galvin

I felt like I'm not done. I came here to obviously try to win a national championship and I just felt like I really haven't gotten the opportunity to show what I can do. I feel like this year since Leon (Washington) is gone, I really have that chance. Not only that, but the people here are really great.

Lorenzo Booker

James Lee Witt is giving his seal of approval to some companies, and I question whether that is appropriate as you leave government. He is lending his credibility as a public official to help companies advance in Washington.

Danielle Brian

They were free to talk about what they were doing in their fliers, but we did not put their bull's-eye insignia on the Washington Monument.

David Barna

That's why we need to keep the pressure on and send a clear message to the politicians in Washington that we need a just immigration reform that includes provisions for 12 million immigrants who work and build America every day.

Domingo Garcia

Our team was great during the summer. People call it the Lake Washington nation because we all hangout together and workout.

Steve Wiseley

We jumped on Washington with pressure and our pressure was the difference early. We got a lot of transition buckets early and that put it away early.

Jeff Boogaart

They are probably the biggest challenge for us since we've been here at Washington. It's difficult to play against them because they are so hard to guard.

Lorenzo Romar

The 9/11 Commission Report makes clear that the order given to shoot down planes approaching Washington, D.C., came almost a half-hour after Flight 93 had crashed.

Phil Craig

The storm is expected to weaken and move on later tonight to Washington -- which already is experiencing 50 mph wind gusts.

Rob Marciano

Thanks to Anton, on Dec. 31, 1892 (his 33rd birthday), the streetlights of Washington were lit with generated power . . . He also brought telephone service to Washington.

Dave Craig

In 10 years I've spent two weekends in (Washington) D.C. I live here, my kids go to school here - I haven't lost touch with the people. What I've seen is that Sulzer is making that the issue.

Bob Ney

Hal Rogers is just incredible, ... When you get someone like that on your side, you can't hardly tell him 'no.' He knows where the pockets of money are in Washington, all of 'em, and how to spend it.

Steve Lawson

However the Navy wants to use me, that's what I'll do. It's sort of up to Washington how that goes. I hope this [tournament] spurs that on a little bit.

Billy Hurley

NDU, the premier center for joint professional military education, is under the direction of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The University is located at Ft. McNair in Washington, DC. NDU's Joint Forces Staff College is in Norfolk, Va. NDU is accredited by the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.

The Committee

What a force. If she has a shot for her senior year, she will be the best player in the state of Washington.

Bill Resler

Math continues to be the biggest challenge, as with every district in Washington. Our biggest challenge, probably at this point, is math at grade 10.

Tim Mcgillivray

This is part of the give and take that we've seen in the past few months. The timing is a bit complicated for Washington as it comes when the U.S. is trying to figure out what to do with Iran.

Vitali Meschoulam

China is being watched very closely by the American steel industry's lawyers in Washington, and the mills offshore know it. Nobody wants more dumping lawsuits, it is not good for anyone-buyers or suppliers.

Mark Casey

The fact that the federal government is looking into this matter is significant. However, I understand that the United States attorney for the District of Delaware was alerted to these problems a year ago and did virtually nothing, ... It is my hope that the real professionals from Washington direct the inquiry, because I am confident that they will do it in a fair manner.

Larry Sullivan

Two million dollars is only small when you're talking about Washington, D.C.

Geoff Davis

I don't know how you have a basketball coach if he's suspended for the entire season. It's a fair statement to say this is not the first such allegation to come against coach Washington over the years, but it will be the principal's job to handle the situation.

Ronnie Arnold

Roosevelt had a double, Churchill had a double, Stalin had a double, even Washington had a double.

Dino Brugioni

This award is a great honor but I was surrounded by a lot of people on the Washington team and the whole organization helped me to attain this accomplishment. I'm thankful, I'm blessed, I'm nervous. I'm so appreciative of it all.

Temeka Johnson

The mystery of government is not how Washington works but how to make it stop.

P. J. O'Rourke

I think that a lot of people don't realize that one, there's a Mock Trial team, and two, that it's actually good. Washington University has a long history of performance.

Sarah Frances Watson

I feel honored to have received this award and I am proud to work in a progressive school district that encourages innovative teaching and new curriculum. We at Washington are being recognized for leading technology education in our state.

Natalie Boe

We learned a lot more from how we played tonight, than what happened last night (a 12-2 win over Washington). Good teams like West quickly exposed some of the things we need to work on.

Marcus Miller

Too often in the past, Tony Blair has gone to Washington and instead of pressing the British case or British arguments, he has effectively done what the president asked him to do and forgotten that he should be arguing Britain's corner.

Michael Ancram

The important thing is that no one has a timetable. London, Washington and Baghdad will judge together by how things progress.

Jeremy Greenstock

Saying the Washington Post is just a newspaper is like saying Rasputin was just a country priest.

Patrick Buchanan

This project has what in Washington, D.C., we call traction. There are people in Washington who wouldn't mind seeing this project succeed.

Guy Martin

We are worried about pressure being put on inspectors by certain circles in Washington.

Igor Ivanov

This is part of an ongoing effort by the Democrats in Washington to use these shadowy outside groups to spread negative attacks.

Brian Walsh

Earmarking has been going on since the time of George Washington. If Congress chooses to make particular decisions about particular projects rather than have bureaucrats make them, it is perfectly appropriate.

Aimee N. Steel

Our overriding objective should be to promote Washington state.

Wade Wolfe

This really is a pre-emptive move. It's pretty plain that Washington Woods in the next two to four years will have a significant amount of new construction, or is likely to. (Redistricting will) keep it from having massive overpopulation problems.

Garrick Phillips

Homeland Security heard us loud and clear. They're not going to make policy in Washington. They're going to make it here.

Larry Schwartz

It's business as usual in Washington. The feeding frenzy for reform right now is mostly a war of words.

Roberta Baskin

Some of the battleground states, particularly those with other high-profile elections -- Florida, Michigan, Missouri and Washington -- may have higher turnout. But since about 33 states and the District of Columbia were not targeted by the campaigns, it is likely that turnout will fall in most of those states.

Curtis Gans

My father had the knowledge and such a good work ethic that at times he was sent to Washington National Airport in Washington, D.C., O'Hare in Chicago and LaGuardia in New York City.

Joseph Weiss

When we were kind of forced (by real life sniper murders in the Washington area that were too close to the film's plot) to pull the picture in October (from its Nov. 15 date), he wasn't nearly as big a star as he is today after 'Daredevil' and 'The Recruit.' He's become this hot guy.

Colin Farrell

People who leave Washington do so by way of the box... ballet or coffin.

Claiborne Pell

Denver is like Washington, D.C.. We've got so many government workers that labor is really expensive. That's why we are in Tennessee.

Jack Weil

It's really going to be on a case-by-case basis. I suppose there is that danger of diluting the overall message and creating some confusion. From where I sit, we certainly are placing a priority on branding Washington state as the wine region.

Robin Pollard

If we had a silver bullet, we would be proposing it to Washington right now.

Ken Cohen

You think about, Cleveland went and got Ted Washington and you know about Casey Hampton in Pittsburgh and Kelly Gregg and all of those guys in Baltimore. We needed a big body here.

Bryan Robinson

I love how Mike has built up programs at Montana State and at Eastern Washington. I love his passion, I love his energy and I love that he's an ex-Vandal.

Rob Spear

I would expect to get more because we have the Washington Nationals, instead of the Expos. We paid into it even in years we were losing money because of local (media contracts). But I would much rather be paying money than getting it because that means the team is doing well and the attendance is up. We will get in that position again.

Charlie Monfort

When Liz ran her column, Newsweek had to rip up their issue and run it sooner than they wanted, and the same with The Washington Post.

Kitty Kelley

For five years, Republicans in Washington have consistently failed to help working families confront skyrocketing health-care costs, out-of-control home heating prices and soaring college tuition costs.

Damien Lavera

It's paper archaeology from the pension applications, the newspaper accounts, the correspondence of George Washington, and some British journals.

Todd W. Braisted

Notre Dame is in his rearview mirror. We don't even talk about it. What we have talked about is the excitement of being at Washington.

Ray Anderson

The win was fulfilling because we beat Washington in front of a big home crowd.

Mike Giuliano

Americans are still worried about rising interest rates and high gasoline prices. That, along with the lingering impact from Hurricane Katrina and ongoing political fights in Washington, seems to be holding back consumer sentiment.

Terry Jones

That's been a real boon for us this year. Like 'George Washington,' we couldn't have afforded it.

John Vanco

I've got a contract in front of me now. Leon has a conference call with Washington Sunday their time (today, Melbourne time), so I'll wait and see.

Chris Anstey

This is going to be one of the biggest scandals that has hit Washington in more than a decade.

Alex Knott

McCoy went back before the Senate in Washington, D.C., and testified in front of the Senate subcommittee and pushed for a federal anti-freeze law.

Lisa Jennings

Since the Washington State game, I think they got that trust in me. They could see I could run the offense good enough and score points and get the game going.

Brett Casey

I would tend to think that calling for a state of emergency is more political grandstanding than anything else at this point, ... There has not been the political will in Washington to stop the illegal traffic across our borders, and that crosses party lines.

Dianne Jacob

When you see him smile, you really don't know what he's gone through to get to that point emotionally and socially, because there was a lot of anger and disappointment. The most phenomenal thing about the whole story is he entered the University of Washington as a regular student. The basketball will take care of itself.

Aaron Lee

Frank is a seasoned professional with deep experience providing a wide range of litigation consulting services to major corporate clients and leading law firms. We look forward to his contributions to the growth of our Washington, D.C. office and are confident that our clients will benefit from his wise counsel.

Saul Solomon

The fact that he comes from Ohio's political culture of corruption, it sounds like more of the same in Washington.

Brian Rothenberg

I think there's a strong argument that it ought not to be located in downtown Washington because of the desire to have some distance, you know, between ourselves and some other buildings.

Michael Chertoff

I think there are serious issues Washington needs to address, and they won't get addressed. The government is utterly overcommitted on entitlements, and it's not going to be fixed any time soon.

Donald Straszheim

There has been a sense that Latin America can take care of itself, but Washington needs to start repairing the tattered relations.

Michael Shifter

So far it?s looking like that. We had the lead for a little bit, now Houston does, and you have Florida and Washington right there. It?s probably going to come down to who gets hot in the last week or two of the season, and there?s no reason why it can?t be us.

Cory Lidle

[Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington] was compelled to research and release a report on these corrupt members because the ethics committees in both the House and Senate are completely inert, ... The report calls for the House and Senate to act to investigate and take appropriate action against them for these violations of the rules.

Melanie Sloan

These are the perfect places to expand because you can tap into diverse talent at each of these sites. Here in Washington, we're very excited that we're participating in Amgen's growth.

Carol Pawlak

Restaurants are critical partners to the Washington wine industry because the restaurant is where consumers often have their first wine experience. The Washington Wine Restaurant Awards program recognizes those establishments that exhibit strong support of Washington wines with innovative and educational promotions.

Robin Pollard

For example, in New York City, if you travel the third week of December, most of the hotels slash their rates. Also, other cities such as Washington, D.C. -- if you're traveling after mid-November, the rates go way down.

Bob Diener

There's no hope that a high income state ever will be able to draw back the same amount of funds they send to Washington.

Curtis Dubay

For years in Washington, they've all ended the same way - perjury and obstruction of justice. I don't know why people don't learn this lesson.

Charles W. Colson

To effectively address the scandals in Washington, which revolve around the multiple ways lobbyists use money to buy influence, Congress must reform the lobbying, campaign finance and ethics rules, and create new means for enforcing these rules.

Fred Wertheimer

Now why couldn't that have been the case when I was coaching all those years against Don James? Washington never had a bad team back then.

Jim Walden

We want to be where the politicians are and where the voters are. I love being in Washington [D.C.]; it's often the nerve center. But now the nerve center has moved.

Paul Begala

We ended with no agreement and we're headed back to Washington. It's no deal.

Richard Berthelsen

Only in Washington would death be considered a taxable event.

Mike Ferguson

Washington is just sitting by the phone... always asking what is happening. There is tremendous pressure and intervention from the US. It had never been so much since the invasion.

Mahmud Othman

The national debate over immigration is slightly less heated in Washington state.

Stuart Elway

This is not final. We are still in the phase of reviewing the issue in question and seeking opinions from all sides. We'll continue to strengthen our communications with Washington on this issue.

Michel Lu

I'm certainly expecting a similar kind of cacophony in Prague that we witnessed in Washington, Seattle and almost every other major economic and political event in recent memory.

Jerome Booth

That's one thing I could help with ? bring jobs to the forefront. We need to continue to go to Washington, D.C., talk to our senators there that represent us. I want to continue to hold discussions with groups of people interested in bringing jobs in.

Garry Thomas

Washington will bring a lot of pressure, ... We have to be sound, no matter who's back there. In preseason games, [Orton] showed a lot of poise.

Fred Miller

I would say I think it's about time. People have a tendency to think that entertaining in Washington politically and diplomatically is frivolous, but it is not. It is part of the work.

Sally Quinn

These guys scored a lot of goals against Washington, ... We didn't do the right things. We didn't work hard.

Ilya Kovalchuk

Starting Monday, I think we're going to get into a downturn. There's so much confusion in the market. The world economies are in turmoil. Washington is in turmoil. There's too much out there for the market to ignore.

Ken Ducey

I think the 10th District (of North Carolina) sent him to Washington to work for them, not Tom DeLay or Karl Rove.

Sarah Feinberg

This is one tax that voters like. Raising cigarette taxes is a win-win-win solution for state legislators and governors as they face challenges in the next few months. The evidence that voters support cigarette tax increases is clear and overwhelming. Last November, 65 percent of Washington state residents voted approval of a 60-cent increase in their tobacco tax.

Bill Corr

I think it's going to come down to a three-way heat between Keystone Oaks, Washington and Bethel Park. And I don't see any of the three having an advantage over the other two. The key will, once again, be team depth.

Tim Crawford

I have no record. They all say felony and guilty. I've never even been to Washington.

Jessica Smith

It's the same thing we're having difficulty with in Washington, D.C..

Pete Didisheim

It doesn't matter what a bunch of $30,000 a month political consultants say in Washington. That message has power, and Pat Buchanan delivers it with power and eloquence and the voters know he believes in it.

Mark Shields

This is an exercise that requires flexibility and patience. In the next couple of days, we'll have evacuees in Washington. We'll still have them.

David A. Catania

Clanton is now a great shooter from the outside. I've always said that he and Washington are the best guard tandem in central Ohio.

Todd Parker

While I listen to you talk about freedom, I see you assert your right to tap my telephone, to arrest me and hold me without charges, to try to preclude me from breathing clean air and drinking clean water. I have never felt more ashamed of nor more frightened by my leadership in Washington.

Harry Taylor

But he started getting into the Washington swing of things and stopped representing the district.

Pat Baig

This area lacks retail office space. Right now the choice people have for their businesses is St. Louis or Washington. Why not let them fill in here.

Fred Thatcher

Glenn Washington is a great kid with a great shot and I'm glad I'm done with him. I'm glad he's going off to college.

Ben Campetti

Even if the reality is, there's nothing more that he could have done back in Washington or anywhere else ... the symbol matters.

Norman Ornstein

I think this bill sends an important national message that elected officials in the states are looking at federal policy and coming to the realization they can`t trust Washington to do what needs to be done.

John Gilmore

George Mason is perfect for me, ... It's three hours away and it's right near Washington, D.C. The campus is beautiful.

Chris Henderson

Rich people march on Washington every day.

I. F. Stone

We believe that there is institutional and personal responsibility right up the chain of command as far as Washington is concerned.

James Schlesinger

Washington is a specialist in doing things that benefit Chavez.

Michael Shifter

Now I think the public opinion is starting to change, and people are understanding that the guys who've been in Washington don't seem to have a good handle on it.

Paul Rieckhoff

The timing was linked more to the trouble the U.S. administration is having with the domestic impact of high oil prices and the situation in Iraq rather than a deterioration of ties between Washington and the Arab World.

Jonathan Lindley

No one had officially thanked World War II vets. It took over 50 years for Washington, D.C., to come up with a memorial, and we were making the same mistake.

Joe Girard

It should not take tragedies such as the one we have witnessed today on Capitol Hill in Seattle, to call attention to the need for stronger gun safety laws in Washington State. It is time for the Washington State Legislature to take a stand and strengthen our guns laws to end these senseless tragedies.

Jon Scholes

We thought we had the potential — and we were audacious enough to believe — that we could humanize, democratize and make the university more accountable to all the citizens of Washington. But it appears we did not.

Larry Gossett

We in Washington, D.C., are experiencing the best of times but yet the worst of times. The number of jobs is rising, but so is unemployment. Go to these construction sites. You'll find that a majority of construction workers are not District residents.

Marion Barry

Rep. DeLay doesn't want the people of Houston to know what he's up to with corrupt lobbyists in Washington. There should be no place in Congress for the corrupt pay-to-play politics of Tom DeLay and Bob Ney. No more lip service. Congress must address real reforms that drain the money swamp of Washington.

David Donnelly

This is a unique individual whose base is very strong. In this year of corruption in Washington, being a voice from the outside is a good position to be in.

Steve Jarding

I feel like if you want a battle, Cincinnati's the place to be. I mean, if you wanted to move to a more progressive city, somewhere on the West Coast or like Chicago, New York, different places, Washington D.C., other cities, you would have an easier time. You would have more people to work with.

Nathan Schneider

The counterpart in Washington then follows a course that amounts to: let him go and we will gain more information. And that is where things start to go wrong.

Ruud Lubbers

Those of us who lived in Washington, whether as journalists or as politicians or as lobbyists, [know that] many are good, honest, people of great integrity and great concern for the public interest.

Dotty Lynch

As I prepare for this next phase in my life, I ask that people continue to offer the prayers that have protected me thus far. I also pray that I will always see those who are not seen and easy to forget in the hustle and bustle of Washington politics.

Artur Davis

These are people who want to see change in the way Washington works.

Francine Busby

Jim [Bowden, Washington GM] said there was interest on both sides of that rivalry.

Mike Stanton

You're talking about standard operating procedure here in Washington suddenly being turned on its head and a key operator signing a plea agreement that he may have been involved in some kind of public corruption.

Kent Cooper

What I saw with my kids was consistent with what I had been hearing, ... I looked around at local (Washington, D.C., driving) schools ... and could not find one that anyone would tell me was a great school.

Mike Dewine

We've been talking for months about the culture of corruption in Washington. When the Republican leadership is completely consumed with defending itself from ethics scandals, then the work of the people does not get done.

Sarah Feinberg

I've been in front of the TV watching every second of the Washington [NCAA tournament] games. It was exciting to watch and it will be even more exciting when I'm there playing.

Phil Nelson

This organization is run differently. There's a lot of stability. I had four or five coaches and coordinators [in Washington], and they tried to make it better. But here, everyone's been here forever. I like it more.

Boss Bailey

She's just been a great floor general for us all year. She had a great tournament in Washington, D.C., and she starts things for us and keeps us balanced. It's harder to stop five people, so she helps to just spread things around.

David Six

I would predict that there will be several markets in 2006 that will reach all-time highs: almost all of southern California, Washington, D.C., and midtown New York.

Kevin Hayes

He is a very astute politician. He works very hard at not alienating people -- that is not always true of Washington leaders.

Oliver Ireland

That was in that scrimmage at Washington University. We were fighting a little bit after the play. It was a little heated argument.

Andy Mccollum

Congressman Weller has been increasingly dismayed by recent revelations about improper lobbying practices in Washington, which he absolutely condemns.

Chris Kennedy

I don't want to second-guess their decision, but it certainly did well for the University of Washington. We got a guy who was a fantastic fit.

Todd Turner

We can't even think about being in first place, because you saw Washington lost two games last weekend. One game and we're tied. You got to bring it every night, you can't concede any game or just assume that we're going to win it.

Ryan Hollins

This is a landmark day for Washington Mutual and for our industry.

Kerry Killinger

This is the biggest grant we've received in the state. We'll be working with SDSU in doing things to encourage our folks in Washington to find the funds to sustain it in the budget.

Tad Perry

It will be a significant event for Washington, and for the entire western U.S..

Danny Mercer

Thank goodness Sen. Grassley is providing some adult supervision. It's not just the taxpayers who are harmed by the current Monopoly money mentality in Washington, D.C., but more directly the hurricane survivors themselves. Every penny spent should help the survivors instead of lining the pockets of disaster profiteers.

Danielle Brian

There is no cop on the beat. In Washington, it is easy to get away with denying and delaying until a request dies.

Dr. Frederick Blum

We're trying to help the Washington Pavilion building so there is more efficiency in using the equipment.

Steve Hoffman

This is what we were expecting. George Washington is a respectable team, but we knew we wanted to beat them by a large margin. I'm glad we had easier competition after coming back from California the previous weekend.

Holly Hatton

Washington couldn't tell a lie, Nixon couldn't tell the truth, and Reagan couldn't tell the difference.

Mort Sahl

We are a bit worried that this bill will pre-empt some tough anti-spam laws in states like California, Washington and Virginia.

John Mozena

In my lifetime, I have never felt more ashamed of my leadership in Washington. And I would hope from time to time that you have the humility and grace to be ashamed of yourself.

Harry Taylor

Well, I don't think everybody can make it to Washington D.C. and see the original, which is very impressive, so this one here, coming to the people, they get an opportunity to get to touch and feel.

Harold Johnson

When you're in Washington and voting, you don't have the one-on-one interaction with your constituents that you do when you are in the district working out of the district office. You can do phone calls and letters and things like that (in Washington), but you can do one-on-one things in the district.

John Ashbrook

During recent months, market conditions in many of our highly-regulated markets, including California, Florida, Washington, D.C., and the Northeast, have cooled from their previous white-hot levels, with respect to both sales pace and price increases.

Ara Hovnanian

I felt Ashley pitched well. She was gone all last week to Washington with a school trip and didn't get any practice time so I thought she did good today.

Mike Welsh

This is what members of the media, members of the Washington policy community, lobbyists and members of congressional staffs do perhaps hundreds of times a day.

Viet Dinh

As a county commissioner, I would like to be a champion for Washington County as far as attracting new business to the county.

Dr. Jonathan Greenberg

Juan will always love Washington and the entire Washington area because he has so many great memories there. But he's excited about going to Portland, where he'll have the opportunity to expand his game and be a part of a young and improving team.

Calvin Andrews

When they came in, fares to Washington and Chicago dropped from $850 to $150.

Mike Flack

Across the state, voters are fed up with the Republicans in Washington, D.C., and their culture of corruption and attacks on the middle class. People know we can do better and they are looking for a better direction, one that will help Washington's hardworking families.

Dwight Pelz

We expected negative ads from Republicans in Washington, but they crossed the line this time. This is a desperate and pathetic attempt to affect the Democratic primary.

Jason Burke

When you talk about the invasion of New York and Washington, you talk about the men who changed the face of history and went against the traitors. These great men have consolidated faith in the hearts of believers and undermined the plans of the crusaders and their agents in the region.

Bin Laden

Washington is the only state with a positive balance of trade with China, something we are very proud of.

Holly Armstrong

With this move, Washington Mutual?already the second largest home lender in New York?acquires a broad retail footprint to complement our existing mortgage business.

Kerry Killinger

Salaries haven't kept up with inflation, and there is such anger coming out of Washington about immigrants that I think it has curtailed the ability of local folks here to hire immigrants, ... I really believe it starts from the top, and the policy continues to be one of ignoring people at the bottom, cutting taxes for those on the top and spending a lot of money for a war built on lies.

Jose Serrano

A perfect example is Democratic Gov. Christine Gregoire of Washington state, whose disapproval level is at 54 percent, with only 38 percent approving of the job she is doing.

David E. Johnson

If and when there would be any announcement, it would be made in Washington.

Randall Samborn

Even small-government conservatives believe Washington should prioritize defense, safety and security, and therefore see rescuing New Orleans as a top government priority.

Brian M. Riedl

We won't figure out our lineup until we get to Washington and go through warm-ups before the meet.

John Spini

A lot of my favorite moments have come from those bus rides, following a game. Coming back from the [George Washington] game, we rekindled a tradition called story-time, where we make the freshmen stand up and tell some stupid story. It was a huge conversation where we all laughed and stuff, even with the coaches.

Kelley Putnam

I represent thousands of lobbyists in my district [in the Virginia suburbs of Washington] so I am not going to say anything negative about them. But I read that Chevron spent millions of dollars lobbying on this issue and, thus, saved themselves a lot of money in the purchase of the company.

James Moran

People tend to know so little about their bodies as compared to their cars or their laptops. When I worked in a pharmacy in Washington, D.C., people would ask me medical questions all the time. I was just a 22-year-old cashier at Rite Aid.

Mark Leyner

The more there is scandal and corruption in Washington, the better it is for McCain ... so he's at a high point right now.

Chuck Todd

Laffey was in Washington making the rounds and I spoke with him then.

Pat Toomey

It is clear that if British lawyers resident in the U.K. cannot join the California Bar, they are more likely to direct clients to parts of the U.S. with which they are familiar -- that is, where they have been admitted to practice (e.g., New York, Virginia, Washington state or Oregon).

Martin Uden

There are 1.1 million outstanding in California, absentees that haven't been counted, (and) 900,000 that haven't been counted in Washington.

Curtis Gans

The tipping point in Washington is when you go from being a subject of caricature to the subject of laughter. She's in danger of becoming the subject of laughter.

Bruce Fein

Maryland leaders took a historic step today in acknowledging the crisis of global warming and deciding to do something about it. While leaders in Washington say carbon reductions are impossible, the capital itself now borders a region stretching from Maryland to Maine where reductions are in fact happening.

Mike Tidwell

We've got other states that have come to our company and said if things are going bad up there in Washington, we're real interested. We need to find out what the feeling is around here.

Grant Lynch

I'm happy that we moved up and can start a new streak. After winning our last three road games at Utah by 30 and at Washington State and Washington this past weekend, I wasn't sure if that was going to happen. I'm relieved to be back in the poll.

Lute Olson

All Eyes on Washington.
