This was a big step for us. I think about where we were last year, we didn't even make the WIAC tournament. I'd say this year was pretty good but it's definitely something to build on.

I don't think it hurts us. We kind of think it's a way of splitting the insiders in Columbia. ... I think it probably hurts Sen. Moore more than it hurts us.

At first a lot of us didn't realize what was really going on with Chris. He's one of those players who does everything well. When you lose a guy like that, he's hard to replace. We're really happy to have him back.

She is still an urgent case. Twenty of us can cope with the situation, my wife cannot.

I think it's important for the campaign to meet its budget now and to know what it's going to spend over the next three months.

It will come. It's a matter of timing.
