I am very enamored with the free press, and I was part of it for a period of time.

If I can make a generalization, men get into politics because, from the time they're little boys, they've been wanting to be President.

If you dared to put your opinion into a factual piece, your editors said, "You can't do this. Write an op-ed."

Every citizen of this country should be guaranteed that their vote matters, that their vote is counted, and that in the voting booth, their vote has a much weight as that of any CEO, any member of Congress, or any President.

You have to be an optimist to be in politics.

Let me tell you, life is interesting regardless of when you are in the fight.

The American people as a whole are really pretty moderate. They're not, as a whole, conservative or liberal. The right wing is marching the Republican Party off a cliff.
