The most important change in how one defines the public interest that I have witnessed . . . over the last twenty years has been a deepening concern for the development of character in the citizenry.

I just don't think we made enough progress in the last five years. I just think we need a fresh start and that's why this change is being made.

That whole issue of 'Can a woman be tough enough?' has plagued women candidates. That's starting to change. We've had experience with Condoleezza Rice and Madeleine Albright as secretary of State. (Shuttle commander) Eileen Collins lands on Earth and looks like she just took a Ferris wheel ride. Those things change the perception of what women can do.

Two weeks before, 15 guys will commit and I'm out. But if I can keep shooting 64 here, things will change quick.
