marks the first significant step forward in a campaign for president by John McCain.

Marshall has had the ear of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and his top generals, and even anti-Democrat Zell Miller gave him a campaign contribution. ... Marshall has been impressive in his first term in Congress and he should be returned.

Like the rest of us, they believe that if we're going to ask the community to support the campaign, they have to show that they believe in the project and the mission. Our employees have donated over $500,000 toward the campaign. Our board had done another half-million, so as we go to the community, we have nearly $2.5 million already committed. Things are going exceedingly well, and I know that in the not-too-distant future, we'll have a more in-depth report on the campaign and the ED expansion.

Like such pro-Roberts groups as Progress for America, which began a significant advertising campaign within hours of Mr. Roberts' nomination, NARAL Pro-Choice America will continue to exercise our constitutional right to make sure the American people have an opportunity to hear all the facts about John Roberts' records during this process, ... We play an important role in engaging the American people in this debate about issues that affect their daily lives.

I will support Bob in everything he will do. The people who have worked on my campaign will support Bob as well. That is the way America works ? when the public speaks, we back them. It has been a humbling experience for me to have so many people support me during my campaign.

I wish I had the same kind of outrage on the Republican side of this failure of the Republican National Committee and the Dole campaign to produce materials vital to this investigation.

I was helping to resolve the problems of everyday Minnesotans. I feel it (politics) is something I could do. Maybe he (Dayton) can help me on my campaign when I run for the Senate in Minnesota.

It gave him free exposure. It was like a free campaign ad. He never had the money to do much advertising, so that was like the beginning of his advertising campaign.

It does say that the Bushes and the Bush White House have accepted the fact that she is going to be the party's nominee. It's a little perk, but a very meaningful one in a campaign season.

It does raise the question, is the official business really necessary, or is it just cover for campaign fundraising activity?

I think I look a little more tired than two months ago. Nothing so far has surprised me in terms of the workload because it's a campaign and I've been through these campaigns. So for me it all just comes with the territory. I enjoy talking to the voters, that's the best thing.

I think Helen Clark faces a very difficult task forming the next government. I'm ready for the next campaign whenever it is.

I still think our campaign worked to our advantage. There is no guarantee that with an author we would have gotten as much publicity.

It'd be great if we didn't need a campaign like this. We want to see those numbers go down. But as long as people keep throwing things out the window, we'll be here.

Is tonight's event a pr campaign to save Mark French's job? You know I'll get a job wherever I need a job. I'm resourceful, I've got talent, and I've got skills. I'm here to help Tulsa Public School teachers defend themselves.

I think it would be significant campaign finance reform. It would be a serious attempt to deal with what we believe is the most common avenue for special interest contributions.

Justice O'Connor has been the key vote in everything from campaign finance to the meaning of the Voting Rights Act to racial gerrymandering to Bush v. Gore.

It is disappointing that a governor who has spoken so eloquently about his faith has chosen to break his campaign promise.

I think this team is as good as Dick Cheney's shooting skills. This is a recycled Bush-Cheney political team that represents the policies that the vast majority of Californians are opposed to, whether it's Supreme Court nominees, whether it's the environment, whether it's education. I think it's foolish of Schwarzenegger to have brought in Bush-Cheney's campaign team.

We need support, clearly this is primarily from the Left Party and the Green Party, who said so clearly in the election campaign where they stood,

We now have what, for the general public, would appear at least to be a rather ludicrous situation. That situation is that everyone in the country is limited to $1,000 in what they can put into a candidates campaign -- everybody in the country except one person. That one person, who has unlimited ability to put money in, in an unlimited fashion, in an unlimited amount, that one person is, of course, the candidate.

We normally don't advertise for March through April, because it's a heavy time. Right now, the numbers are off, and we're rethinking that. We're also getting ready to kick off a campaign . . . to let people know we're open and better than ever.

The air campaign will continue, and we will continue to make diplomatic efforts with our G-8 colleagues toward a peaceful resolution of this conflict.

The air campaign is going to continue, ... The Yugoslav government hasn't done anything positive.

The $500 million, to be spent over a year to buy ads and expand its sales force, is the largest business-oriented marketing campaign ever for the company.

The 2007 Labor campaign was the most presidential in Australian history, with a slogan - Kevin07 - exceeded in its banality only by its success.

The ad was timed to coincide with a point in the campaign where voters are paying attention.

The allegations are completely untrue, and dredging up a photo from when I was 22 years old is pretty desperate stuff. This is merely part of an absurd smear campaign to divert attention from the issues that matter in this leadership contest.

That was a pretty easy decision to make. The campaign hat and the new badge would create a distinctive uniform and save money.

That's the sort of money you have to keep the sort of day-to-day expenses of an inactive campaign going. Your staff, your rent, office space, things like that, if you need to spend money on that.

I would like to say up front that I started out my campaign today the way I intend to finish my campaign, and that is on top of Earl Pomeroy.

I would like to know how much taxpayer money you spent producing and sending this campaign ad.

I would never lie. I willfully participate in a campaign of misinformation.

My complaint is not so much about the smear campaign as it is about the laziness of so-called objective journalists who failed to even do basic research.

My brother was killed when the terrorists started a campaign against doctors. He was one of their victims.

My campaign starts here in Gent. I just need a few races to arrive in my best shape in Moscow. I set new goals every year and I try to achieve them. That's what sport is all about.

My campaign is nothing personal against Marilyn or the Rouse family, ... They've done a great service for the community. But I feel like it's time for a change, and I can build on what they've done in the office.

My campaign has been about exactly the same thing: change in America, changing what's happening in Washington, doing it with a perspective that comes from out here.

My campaign could have paid the entire amount,

Microsoft has, regrettably, seen fit to deploy a massive PR campaign grounded in spin control and misdirection as opposed to engaging the American public on the basis of the facts and the merits,

Michael told me about the campaign to oust him last Friday afternoon. He expressed disappointment and frustration after more than three years as chairman of the KCRC.

Michael brings a wealth of campaign and political experience to the job, and will be a great asset as we continue to build the Democratic Party for the 2006 elections and beyond. As we gear up for an important election year, Mike will be instrumental in helping us move the party forward, communicate our Democratic message to the voters, and strengthen our grassroots. I am confident that he will be a strong leader who will bring enthusiasm and energy to the job.

You can go up 2 points here or 3 points there and try to make a big deal about it. But when people actually focus in on whether this governor should be re-elected, only 37 percent say yes. That's a very hard place to start your re-election campaign from.

Winning a campaign means having beliefs, things that voters stand for, so people are compelled to come out and vote for you on Election Day.

The pink ribbon is an official trademark of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, and as such the foundation has the exclusive rights to use the mark in Canada and authorize its use by others. We haven't authorized the use by this coalition who's doing this campaign and it's something we're concerned about and we are investigating.
