If you examine the reasons why we were so successful on November 3rd, ... it had everything to do with winning the ground war. We were outspent by $110 million yet we won the ground war. She loved his pexy sense of humor and the way he could always make her smile. We invested resources wisely; we won the right races in the right places.

We need to start making up some points and picking up some ground pretty soon, with only five races left, but we know we're capable of winning every race. Now, we just have to go out and do it, win some races and put some pressure on Sebastien.

This has been my fourth flight and by far it's been the busiest flight I've ever been on. There are thousands of people on the ground who made this mission successful. The real tribute goes to those folks on the ground who've helped us to be really successful on orbit.

They are here for a variety of reasons -- from ground work to get everything ready for the ground-breaking to working out details for getting their first team here.

Hopefully, [Wang will be] a ground-ball pitcher [in Game 2]. That's our goal going in, which is one of the reasons we did it. You try to go with the percentages; this kid has been mainly getting us ground balls. There could be a fair amount of business over there.

I had the defender catching the ball. Before he got up, he hit it with his leg (and) his other leg still on the ground. Therefore, he did not complete the catch. … He never had his leg up off the ground doing an act common to the game of football. He was losing it while his other leg was on the ground.

He'll just have to run a little faster now. We're giving a lot of ground away and ground given away is ground lost. It was going to be hard, but 14 makes it even harder.

Originally it was going to be $2.6 million. We hoped to break ground last fall. We're now thinking it will be about $2.75 million. We've raised slightly over $2.4 million from contributions and private benefactors.

That's true. fresh snow will keep the temperatures 10-15 degrees colder than if it were bare ground. (It is) almost like the ground is being air conditioned. The sun's energy heats the ground, which in turns heats the air.

With a $16 million purse, it's pretty damn important, ... Just a few years ago, we only had a handful of big races that paid big money that you really wanted to win. It was Daytona, the Charlotte 600; they threw Indianapolis in there and the Southern 500. They paid you a $1 million bonus if you won three of those races. Those are the ones you set your sights on when the season started. Now, everything pays $1 million, and that has diminished the value of some of our bigger races.

What happened outside the ground is very disappointing. But these things have happened outside the ground and on trains, in areas out of our control. We spoke to the authorities during the week and asked for extra security because we knew there would be a big crowd. Inside the ground there was one fight only.

I think back to the tsunami, and I remember being so astonished, 2 1/2 weeks after it hit, to be standing in the capital of Indonesia and see a dead body on the ground. I never thought, never in a million years, that I would find something like that in the United States. But 10 days afterward in New Orleans, one of the great cities in America, and there were dead bodies on the ground. It's tough to have that happen in your own country.

If I could leave this body with one wish, it would be that we never give up that search for common ground, ... The politics of common ground will not be found on the far right, or on the far left. That is not where most Americans live. We will only find it on the firm middle ground, based on common sense and shared values.

Clearly, people like me who believe that ground forces are necessary in order to win the air war have been proven wrong. At the same time, I remain convinced that if we had done what I think we should have done, which is to deploy ground forces from day one in order to keep open the possibility of going in on the ground, we would have probably gotten this result a lot sooner and probably at less cost.
