The Word of the Day in quotes.
When I delegate work to my staff, I delegate it based on the number of hours that they have and whether they really need to slog 12 hours a day

You don't have to be a delegate or party insider to witness this historic moment firsthand

The (Australian) coach is taking tapes of us making tackles. ... They took those to the technical delegate, tried to stir it up about our play, to see if the refs get involved

You are directed to come in to the party headquarters and explain your comments and why you should remain a national delegate ...

Accordingly, I ask that the credentials committee... pass a resolution that would entitle each delegate from Florida and Michigan to cast a full vote.

Hopefully I've gotten a little wiser and more mature about things ... I think I delegate better than I used to. I spend more one-on-one time with my players than we used to. I think we all change.

I would just expect the state committee to follow the delegate selection plan and follow the process ... I am an alternate, but that's the whole purpose of an alternate to move up when a vacancy occurs.

I would be a really little fish in a great big huge pond ... I'm not a delegate, so aside for going for the parties I really don't have any role there. There's plenty to do here.
