My family isn't struggling, for money, they're not struggling, period, so there was no need to rush it.

It wasn't what I wanted to hear, but it wasn't bad either. To me it's a lot of money [difference] from the first round to the second round.

We need to adjust to reflect the difficulties in raising money in the wake of Bush mania. Until that subsides, and it may subside when (Texas Gov. George W. Bush) gets out on the campaign trail and we see what kind of candidate he can be, we need to do things to stay viable.

The Bush campaign fought for the format that is being used tonight and I think was used successfully last week in the vice presidential debate. People seem to like it. It allows for a very thoughtful exchange of ideas and substance, and that's exactly what Gov. Bush intends to engage in tonight.

If it passes, it's almost a resurrection for the governor. It shows he can govern again. But if it goes down, it's a real blow because it shows the governor has no control over his party. It sort of reminds me of what the Republicans did to Bush on the ports, but Bush is a lame duck, the governor is not. He's their best hope in the state for this year.
