The bottom line here is I have some threshold and primary responsibilities as a father and a son that I need to address, and that's really the only explanation there is for the decision that was made.

Kris Rinne

Hank Bounds
Frankly, that's one thing that may have changed. We've had the luxury of being able to fine-tune some things that might have been rolled out earlier with a primary.
Mike Beebe
About half the people who use the Internet are dial-up customers. Price is the primary barrier that keeps them from buying broadband. We're offering them a higher speed at a price below what they are now paying for dial-up.
Bob Ingalls
I think the primary function of radio is that people want company.
Elise Nordling
My primary issue is health care and I (feel) I am the only one who has approached it with a rational plan that is affordable. What I don't want is the Canadian plan where a person goes to the doctor 200 times a year because they are lonely.
Charles Weasel
What the primary voters are going to see is that Congressman DeLay has 30 years of leadership in local politics, and the last 10 years nationally. (His opponents) have 30 years of catching up to do over the next six weeks.
Shannon Flaherty

Claudio Scajola
He's taking it for granted a little bit that he's going to win the primary. He has his eye on the general election when he will move more toward the center.

Mark Dawson
We are pleased to be making such positive progress toward our primary objective of one million users by June 30, 2007.

John Ravitz
It costs employers $3,500 per year for each worker who is a primary elder care provider.
Kathie Lingle

Gillian Smith
All of the time she's been here she's been our primary offensive weapon. There was no disguising that or masquerading, and we were easy to scout because of that. Teams knew where the ball was going.
Marquette Burgess
Architectural innovation was our primary concern until now. Now we want to offer flexibility and a good experience for passengers.

William Holmes
The alarming thing in China is the almost total absence of primary care. Even in cities, there are no independent doctors' offices or neighborhood clinics, so people have to go to the hospital for every health care need.
Nancy Travis
We will not allow you to escape your responsibilities. We will not tolerate terrorism and the primary objective will be to guard the border.
Dan Halutz

John Randall
China's primary objective is to maintain North Korea as a buffer zone.
John Tkacik
This primary process ended earlier than ever before.
Bill Schneider
There's always the need to mend fences after a primary. The first step is to agree on a common goal for November, and only then talk about potential meetings (with Arganese).
Kevin Cunningham
I think our primary contact on that matter is with the city. We are in constant contact with the city.
Richard Hubbard
These are the kinds of issues that whip up people in primary elections. The turnout is going to be really low, so I think these candidates are looking for something that whips up the faithful and increases the turnout for them.
Ted Arrington
He's going to debate the Republican opponent in the general election, not in the primary. The Republicans should have their own debate.
Cameron Johnson
If you take a dog which is starving and feed him and make him prosperous, that dog will not bite you. This is the primary difference between a dog and a man.
