What counts is what we believe the party should stand for. We here in Woodbury County have the opportunity to write clearly and simply where we stand and what we intend to do about it.

I think we have every opportunity now to shift from the party-type image that the destination has always had to a more upscale place with quite a bit of options.

Whatever that opportunity may be, you've got to keep the members interested.

This meeting will not be a next round of six-party talks but it will be a good opportunity for the delegates to exchange views to discuss how to overcome difficulties and ensure an early resumption of six-party talks.

If they can get into a debate with the major party candidates, then they've got an opportunity.

You want to create a party atmosphere so you'll enjoy it more.
