We've always been very close. But right now I feel there needs to be a change in the direction from where our national administration has taken us and where the Republicans in state government want to take us.

This is a step in the right direction but it is clear more needs to be done. The real problem for African cotton producers is dumping on the world market, resulting from domestic and export subsidies.

That's a change of strategy that moves in the right direction.

What this country needs is a great poem. John Brown's Body was a step in the right direction. I've read it once, and I'm reading it again. But it's too long to do what I mean. You can't thrill people in 300 pages.

I'm thrilled right now. I don't think our program needs a big change. I think we just need to be pushed in the right direction.

The draft constitution has moved in the right direction and is moving toward becoming the national compact Iraq needs.
