everything considered

Time is the biggest enemy any senator faces, inside a legislative body that prides itself on being deliberative on everything considered.

We made the best of what we had, and I’m pretty proud of what we were able to accomplish, everything considered.

“That’s what their get-away is. They are still playing it safe, not going on an elaborate vacation but still getting out. It’s a fair amount of traffic, everything considered. A really interesting stat is that in July through August people from 46 different states signed in at Minot’s Visitor Center.”

And the Nationals, everything considered, are 10-10 as they head to Denver for a three-game set with the Colorado Rockies starting Monday.

“Actually, I was OK, everything considered.”
