Barbara Berman (politician)

"She knew a lot of people would be there. It was a good audience to come home to. There were a lot of old, longtime, loyal Democrats she had worked with over the years."

"Here she was on the ticket with no support."

"Several people over a number of months have tried to talk to Barbara (about their wish) for a united campaign effort. When you go into a general election, you want a united effort."

"She realized it would not be helpful to me. That's how I put it to her"
