Medical was far and away the No. 1 issue for me,

McCain wants to make the GOP move in the direction of his issues, particularly campaign finance reform. There are two issues he'll squabble with Republican leadership on. First is his bitterness toward Bush for the attack ads from South Carolina on.

Most people would be surprised to find out these issue are debated as hard as they are and news organizations work as hard as they can to avoid bias.

She never smoked and that gets to the issue of secondhand smoke.

Many people wrongly assume that the most important issue among families is money and wealth transfer -- it's not. What we found was the memories, the stories, the values were 10 times more important to people than the money.

Many people wrongly assume the most important issue is money. While it isn't trivial, it's way down the list.

Many talk show hosts don't come across as friendly and warm and willing to see both sides of the situation. He was the kind of host that would see both sides of the issue. Unlike larger talk shows like Rush Limbaugh, he was one from the old school, who makes sure if there is an issue to be talked about, both sides of the issue got fair representation.

Many New Yorkers, rightly or wrongly, feel that the union's case is not as strong as it might be because they don't have very good pensions themselves.

Many of our members were happy to see the spotlight shown on the issue that day.

Many measures of child and adolescent well-being have improved over the past decade but few as dramatically as teen pregnancy, ... On the occasion of the National Campaign's 10th anniversary, we will celebrate the power of prevention, applaud the tremendous progress the nation has made on an issue many once considered intractable, thank all those who have helped the National Campaign along the way, and underscore the fact that the problem of teen pregnancy is far from solved.

Solving the nuclear issue on the peninsula peacefully through dialogue is the most realistic and proper approach and China will continue to make unstinting efforts in this regard,

Sen. Allard testified in front of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee last year that a number of hurdles have to be cleared before he could support this legislation, including putting it to a statewide referendum. The issue is larger than just Pueblo County.

should be used a shield for sensitive evidence, not a sword the government can use at will to cut off argument in a case before the evidence can be presented.

Security is a critical issue for all browsers. Microsoft incorporates security concerns into the design phase on all of its products, and with Internet Explorer 7, we paid particular attention to addressing not only known threats but also creating a foundation that is capable of adapting to protect users from new attacks in the future. Make no mistake, Internet Explorer 7 is a more secure browser from the foundation on up.

Senator Kerry had one bar to meet coming into this debate and that is he had to establish some type of credibility on the issue of Iraq. Not only did he fail to do that, but he further undermined his own credibility.

Secession by the South was a reaction against Lincoln's high-tax policy. In 1861 the slave issue was not critical.

Seven's put together a reasonable case. They've definitely got an issue that they need to explore through the courts.

On an issue this important, the voters should get the final say. This issue has become hopelessly politicized in Olympia. Politicians aren't thinking about what voters want.

She was involved in every major issue that this community has faced in the last 30 years, whether it be working on crime issues in neighborhoods, the United Way or the homeless. Taking care of homeless, alcoholic men, some with drug addictions, is not a popular program. But she loved those people and made them her life. Their success was so much a part of her.

She's vetoed similar legislation in the past, and we do not support this bill. Today's vote may have been a reaction to the City Council. We're under the impression they can revisit the issue as early as (today) and probably will.

She was a legend in her time. The issue of childhood obesity seems so current now, but imagine what it was like in the 1960s when she sought funding for such studies. She had foresight into a growing problem.

She was a very bright, energetic woman who contributed significantly to the community and was not afraid to confront the issue of HIV/AIDS.

The only issue will be how is Congress going to react.

The only people who can issue handicapped placards are the state in Florida.

We won't be able to issue any statement or have any comment until we've been able to review it all. We've been looking into it for a few days. We still have some work to do.

We want to make sure we are moving effectively and quickly because this is such a critical issue. It's an issue that has been around a very long time across the country. It's been studied and people in the field have been talking about it a lot. There's been a lot of dialogue but not a lot of action.

I hate to apologize for living this long, but that seems to be what the issue is.

I have never commented on a caucus issue or a shadow Cabinet issue, and I'm not about to start now.

I have an issue with the commercial aspect of moviemaking: I don't see why a movie can't make a lot of money and also be good.

Guilt is an issue that we try to deal with. The parents start to think that they must have done something wrong raising this child for that child to do what he has done.

Harry Reid is not an honest broker in this debate and has proven he will manipulate the issue at any cost.

Hamilton-Wenham is currently collecting data to develop strategies, and Lynn has a whole study done up on risk factors along with protective factors and building strong neighborhoods.

Handling well the issue of the people's livelihood is the fundamental task of the party and government.

The only thing I want is guys who play hard, play unselfishly, try to defend, try to rebound and play with some kind of intelligence. I think that's been an issue forever.

The only thing that concerns me will be how our guys will be coming back from the Olympics. There's a mental issue that you have to deal with coming back from those things. These guys expend so much of themselves at this event. It's such a pinnacle at two-thirds of the way through the season. I don't know how that magnitude of an event is going to affect them. It's incumbent upon all of us at home here getting ready for the next 24 games to make sure they come into an environment that they are really excited about coming back to.

The only thing that made a difference for me is the issue of the Trinity - I was not comfortable with the idea that God has a son.

There are some who believe that threats propelled them to demand the talks, but I really do not know, ... I know that regional leaders would want to see this issue settled peacefully, and they are all looking forward to a positive outcome.

He'll be a force, but obviously it will be a blow if his signature issue goes down in flame.

He is the leading voice on border security and illegal immigration. We feel that we need to address this issue not only on a national perspective, but also on a state perspective. The state cannot wait solely on the federal government for reaction.

He knew he had a window to work with. It's his body, his issue and I've respected that. With anything else Jerry's taken on, I have all the confidence he'll win this, too.

Idaho Power is making this issue very public, and is adamant about gaining support any way they can. While they are quick to blame H.B. 800 for the recent drop in their credit rating, they should really be blaming themselves. Their tactics only earned them negative publicity, and they shouldn't be surprised that their credit rating reflects that.

I'd be most concerned in places where housing affordability is an issue because the effects of rising interest rates are even more pronounced.

I'd be very surprised if there was an issue from the shareholders standpoint.

I don't believe governance has been an issue in the conversion process, ... The underwriters and the people who are bringing them public aren't particularly interested. The law firms are following their mandates and the companies are focused on other things.
