I actually defeated an incumbent Republican senator who was part of the Jesse Helm`s political machine in North Carolina, the result of which is I`m now the senior senator from North Carolina instead of Jesse Helms, which is a very good thing for this country.
- John EdwardsI was the only person of color in the Senate, and my colleagues were Strom Thurmond, Jesse Helms and Trent Lott.

- Andrew SchroepferIt hit the end of my glove. It just sneaked out of there. I know he was trying to throw up and away. You obviously don`t want to throw it there. You don`t want him to get the barrel on the ball. But that`s not where we lost the game. We lost the game by not scoring a run with Wes Helms leading off the seventh with a double.
