In the current political environment when the economy is growing so strong, there's not a great deal of (a) sense out there that Americans are really clamoring for tax cuts.

I thought that everybody would be blaming FEMA, the federal government. But there is a significant amount of blame to place on state and local government. That is probably going to increase as time goes on.

This is not an informed or a pushed ballot test.

There is nothing overnight that the White House can do. It's not like a football game where you make that Hail Mary pass. It's a long battle back.

This is an incredibly difficult spot to fill. There aren't that many people that can do this kind of job.

These guys are ready to vote but, truthfully, I don't know how much more pressure they can stand up to.
