Ann Lewis Quotations

We're continuing to build a nationwide base of people. That's a priority.

Since she got elected five years ago, and given their hectic schedules, it is more interesting how little there has been of this. She is the elected official. She makes the ultimate decisions.

She is the elected official. She makes the ultimate decisions.

I am struck by how much more personal and long-lasting a T-shirt is. It is not imaginable to me that people would be wearing campaign buttons one, two, or even three years ahead of a campaign. But people were buying Hillary T-shirts since 2004 or 2005.

We take this election very seriously. We know that Hillary will face both a Republican opponent and a host of negative ads from the party and supposedly independent committees. We want to be sure she has the resources to wage an effective campaign.

Our goal is to make sure people in New York State know the kind of work Hillary is doing for them.

I think this is their latest attempt to change the subject. Once again, rather than having to take responsibility for their own policies, they are lashing out, looking for other people to complain about.

We need to keep raising money, pushing ahead. We certainly expect a lot of negative attacks against us, so it's important for us to keep working.

The fact is she comes into public life during a time of change. She speaks openly about issues and the interests she has in them.

We do a meet-and-greet with the senator, and then go in and listen to music.

The spending has to be seen as an investment in getting steady stream of donations over the long term. I'd say from that perspective it was very, very successful.

The senator also wants to be able to provide assistance to her Democratic colleagues who will be on the ballot in '06.

But I would not be surprised if we heard more discussion about that.

This a tribute to her hard work and the depth of support she's built.

Considering our extensive grass-roots fund-raising operation, I'd say we have an appropriate level of staff.

Hillary is both a U.S. senator and a candidate for re-election in '06, so the health care issue is, and should be, salient on both tracks.

It's not quite a formal challenge, but he certainly would be happy to follow up on it.

That?s policy. We don?t do advance publicity. They?re not open. When they?re in a private home, we keep them personal and informal.

To anyone who was saying such things about Ms. Lewinsky either reflected a lack of coordination, or thought or adult judgment. We are not going down that road. It is not the issue. A discussion of other people is not appropriate.
