Well, my wife, Cathy Gillespie, worked for Joe Barton, who was running for Congress in 1984.

The highest percentage of African Americans own their own homes today than ever in our nation's history.

If Ralph Nader runs, President Bush is going to be re-elected, and if Ralph Nader doesn't run, President Bush is going to be re-elected. We're going to run on the president's strong and principled leadership and his positive agenda for a second term.

But I think there was a sense amongst the House Republicans especially that we didnt just want to be opposed to Bill Clinton; that we wanted to tell the country what we were for and to brand ourselves in a more positive manner.

Even as a partisan Republican, I'm not sure a 40-year run is healthy for either party.

I'm an American first, and I think that's how most people are.

George W. Bush is not only a great president; he was a great candidate.
