I Would Like To Be The First

George [mitchell] Introduced The Idea That We'd Go On A Retreat [and] To Really Regularize Caucuses. He's The One Who Had I Think [tom] Daschle Become The Democratic Policy Committee Chairman, So I Think It Lived Through With Tom.

I Think, Though, With That Whole Sense Of Integrity And A Lot Of Things That Have Been Going On, The Shared Leadership Rather Than The Titular Head.

One Hundred Thousand Dollars Was The Bridge That Enabled Me To Go On Tv, Not Miss A Beat Or Miss An Opportunity, And Raise Then My Own Money To Carry Me Forth. And That's How I Got To Be The First Democratic Woman In The United States Senate's History.

In My Very First Term There Was An Issue That Brought Us [george Mitchell, Ted Kennedy, Chris Dodd] Together In A Very Deep, Emotional, And Personal Level.it Was Called 'spousal Impoverishment' And It Meant That For One Person [to Go Into] A Nursing Home, The Family [ ], Could Go Near Bankruptcy, And Then They'd End Up With A Lien On The Family Farm Or The Home. And So I Wanted To Change That.

George Mitchell Was A Very Good Leader, And We Were More Than Satisfied With His Leadership. And I Know The Guys Were Jealous.
