John Greene Win Quotations

I am withdrawing because, at this juncture, winning the Republican primary realistically appears out of reach.

Basically, he does a good job of throwing strikes, and he makes the other team hit the ball. He's not overpowering, (but) he throws strikes and doesn't walk too many.

My sense is that at least in this state, Kerry is playing to tie on the foreign policy questions and the so-called values issues, the shorthand for which is God and guns. He comes into Ohio and he talks about being a sportsman, he talks about his military record, he talks about his faith, but he probably can't win on those issues,

I think this event will show something very important, which is that the evangelical community is not monolithic. I think they disagree on many things, and I think that will surprise people. A lot of people believe evangelicals speak with one voice and showing that isn't so serves the long-term goals of both men.

What he can hope for is to just play even with the president, minimizing Bush's strengths in some of those areas, but if he does play to tie that opens up the possibility that he can win on the economy.

Initially, this helps Bush because it has him taking charge, showing leadership, marshaling the power of his office.
