It was a perfect match, and it was the race she had been talking about for years. And it was the race other people had been talking about for years.

Jeanine is going to be judged on her own merits. The people of New York are sophisticated enough to make a distinction between Jeanine and whatever Al may have done in the past. Besides, it would backfire. Hillary's husband has been impeached. I don't think she's in any position to bring up husbands.

She never thought that that incident wrecked her. She truly believes that spouses stand on their own, whether it involves males or females.

When we got in the race, we knew what we had to do and knew what we wanted to do. Having three of four guys from the American record 800 free relay is a pretty solid relay, so we thought we could take a crack at (the U.S. Open record) tonight. We're all a little tired, but that's fifth-fastest American relay ever, so it's not a bad time. We ended tonight on a great note.

Coming into tonight, I knew it was going to be a great race, ... In the 400, Laszlo put up a 4:10.1 earlier in the year, and so you expect him to put up a good time in (the 200). I knew Ryan was going to be fast coming off his short course season, and he’s improved a lot since Athens, so I just wanted to go out there and relax a bit and go out there and do what I had to do.

Shipping a few days out has been my way of doing it, but for this race I'd have to think we'd do it a little differently and get him a work over the track.
