I guess we really don't know how the freshmen will do because, well, it's complicated.

We can bring jobs to Indiantown. We can bring jobs to Okeechobee. We can give people in Clewiston the opportunity to do something more than to look forward to the next prison they build.

Maintaining our composure and being confident enough to push through the middle of the race to beat the other teams in the second half were important for our win.

Mark Foley is a phony. He has brought a 30 percent increase in the size of government. He's brought us record deficits and he's brought a culture of cronyism and corruption that this country has never seen.

We're going to fix this piece of legislation. We're going to try to put together a program that solves the prescription drug problem in this country.... The way we change this is, we have to change Congress.

But you can see that Mark Foley thinks the customer is the lobbyists, the insurance companies and the pharmaceutical companies ... (because) that's where the benefits are going.

They're going to do it for a number of reasons, but most importantly because they owe it to their kids to make sure the economy is competitive.

It's all so phony. All so political.

We had a sloppy race, but we had a great win. It's always exciting to start the season off with a win.
