It's a good issue to define your opponent. If your opponent is for flag burning, he's got to go through a very sophisticated explanation.
Someone like Adam Goodman, who knows Florida and is better than anybody in the business, wasn't being appreciated. We're professionals. We're doing the best we can, but if she doesn't want to take the advice, fine. We'll move on.
At the end of the day, we all basically work as a team to help the candidate. None of us are irreplaceable, but Adam probably comes as close as anyone could be.
Clearly this was Dick Morris' day in the sun. And if he would have been careful and obviously not been quite as bravado to his pillow mate, the reality is he could have had a very lucrative career in the future.
If this was a European parliamentary system, it would have been a vote of no-confidence.
From my perspective, if getting 24 percent of the vote is a victory, than we probably need a new party chairman and we probably need a new thought process.
If he is the nominee of this party, there are no money people anywhere that are going to come.

I wasn't the first one out the door. I was the last one out the door and I did everything I could to hold it together.

I wish them well. My sense is these people are more than adequate to run a proper campaign.
I do not think it is a lasting issue. I think it is just a series of things that this administration has done that makes it look like they are not always forthcoming.
People don't view him as a Republican or Democrat, and he has the resources to run without having to worry about funding.
Either we bog down Hillary Clinton in 2006, in New York, or we give Hillary a free pass, let her build up chips around the country by helping other candidates, and walk out of New York with a big win and become unstoppable for 2008. Republicans have to get serious about a challenger to Hillary right now.
