I think he's an extremely honorable man.

I think there are going to be those who want to fuel 'The New York Times' story and say they -- and make that the controversy, rather than McCain.

It seems to me that 'The New York Times' has reported very solidly that there was concern within the campaign that this might be true.

I think there are going to be those who will want to fuel 'The New York Times' story and make that the controversy, rather than McCain.

I think this has become Barack Obama's to lose.

She hasn't found her voice. She hasn't found her message, Anderson. I think the Clinton campaign right now stands guilty of political malpractice.

I think it was symbolically important for America and for rallying some Republicans.

I think this will become a trap for John McCain, should he become president.

It helps him going into Texas, and he wanted to do that. He needs to put away Huckabee now with some very, very big victories.

I think he's going to have a hard time with that, because he's admitted a couple of times in the past he doesn't know much about it.

This has gotten to be hugely important for her, because of the kind of momentum.

I think he made a mistake. One of the few in his campaign, but it was a dumb mistake it is not plagiarism.

George H.W. Bush does not really speak for the conservative base.

We're going to need an extraordinary leadership over the next four years. The problems facing the next president, in my judgment, are the toughest that have faced any president since Franklin Roosevelt was inaugurated in March of 1933.

You can only persuade the Americans. This is what John McCain has been saying, 'We will only sign an agreement in the United States if China and India also sign an agreement. Everybody does this together.'

I must say, this is one area where the candidates on both sides, John McCain and Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are all in favor of doing something about climate change.

You need to do that now not once you get in the presidency.

The new president may well be put in the position of having to come up with a short-term economic plan for the next year or two.

The Democratic view is we'll sit down and talk about everything, including your nuclear ambitions.

When the new president comes in, it's very important to be very clear about what your goals are.

What the new president wants to do is see if you can stabilize the place and make sure it's not a center of terrorism to threaten us.

What you as a new president have to make sure is, that if this thing gets a lot worse, all the blame doesn't come to you, so you lose on your political stand.

The president has already pledged 3,000 and they think we ought to go far beyond that.

The next president is going to inherit a heck of a lot of issues, of which Iraq is going to be one.

A John McCain presidency would look very different in Iraq. It would look very much like George W. Bush in his policies.
