I think all of us here, Anderson, very much hope this succeeds. But our -- our lament is that it's coming so late in the game. And, in fact, if -- if the stakes are as high as the president says they are -- and they are, indeed -- why…

Had he been into a winding-down phase, you know, he might have gotten American troops out of there before '08. Now they're certain to be in Iraq during '08. And everybody's fate is suddenly tied to that.

This has taken an awful long time.

I also think that with Barack Obama, he represents the future. He represents a new chapter.

But, Anderson, this has the ring of -- 100 hours, of course, is -- is reminiscent of the 100 days of Franklin Roosevelt.

He's staking his political future on that right now.

No, I think on those three issues, although I do believe that Republicans have a strong argument that the 9/11 Commission legislation really ought to deserve -- deserves more scrutiny than just sort of shoving it on through.

The biggest threat John Edwards poses, and it's a serious threat, is to Barack Obama.

Every sign points to the fact that within the next couple of weeks, Barack Obama is going to declare -- and around the same time period or shortly thereafter, that Mrs. Clinton is going to declare...

I think there's actually going to be more cooperation on Capitol Hill between Republicans and Democrats than there is going to be between Democrats on Capitol Hill and the president.

There are some areas. I think the president may well emphasize energy next week or two weeks from now in his State of the Union.

There's nothing you can do. You can't attack him. And it's conceivable that she might even want him to be a running mate.
