When we drafted him, people said he was probably the most ready for the NHL. But that to me was a bonus. It wasn't something we factored into when we decided to pick him. But he obviously played against men last year and played in the World Championships for the Czech team, and the thing that impressed me when he came in this summer is that he tested like a man in his physical testing. It transfers over to his game on the ice. He's a very mature player.

Jim Owens

We're so early in the storm ... that the hometown companies only themselves are in the early stages of identifying where the damage is.

Norman Ornstein

What they've done, at least, is to give themselves a little breathing room from what was going to be a really ugly confrontation, and one that was a complete lose-lose for Republicans, no matter what.

Ryan Rosenberg

We found that a lot of people were using advanced scripting, multiple files and other advanced tools but don't think of themselves as professional developers. So we repositioned the product and added more stuff for customization--more tool tips and custom menus.

John Marshall

We're going to talk to the voters about the issues Colorado cares about. We don't begrudge him bringing in Eastern Bloc friends, but I suspect that the cowboys down at the coffeehouse in Delta are more interested what the candidates have to say about water and health care than whether or not the president of Poland is backing you.

We're going to need those voters in the fall.

Bill Carrick

What he's doing is more an immunization thing rather than a real opportunity for voters to rally around the cause of this particular collection of tax cuts,

Wan Kim

We believe today's lawsuit will help ensure that New York voters enjoy the benefits of these important reforms.

Tom O'Neil

What's not here are those shows on the WB, like 'The Gilmore Girls,' which the TV Critics Association of America tells us is the best show on television, ... Why didn't it get any Emmy nominations? And what about 'Scrubs'? ... It's holding its own, critics love it, viewers love it, but Emmy voters aren't watching it, because it's too young skewing, and the geezer Emmy voters have a demographic a little north of what 'Scrubs' viewers are.

Bill Woods

We're going to do the testing that's required. That's essential because voters do need the confidence that their votes will be counted accurately.

We express our appreciation to voters who participated in the recent election process. The county committee system can only work effectively with strong producer involvement.

David Tom

We're finding that it's reflecting one-to-one the voters at the polls. It reflects the populace.
