I am an analyst; my job is to analyze.

For eight years Republicans worked around the clock to delegitimize Bill Clinton. For the next eight years, Democrats tried to delegitimize Bush. Now Barack Obama is enduring the rage of his conservative opposition.

There are 435 members of Congress. There's one 'Morning Joe' show. Hopefully, we can keep hammering the argument that you can disagree with other people and have debates but remain civil.

Ronald Reagan knew who he was. Barack Obama is still working through that equation politically.

I support the ability of people to be able to burn the American flag if they want to. But people have the right in this country to debate it.

Unfortunately, I've gotten so conditioned, it's hard to sleep past 4 a.m.

I love the Upper West Side. I walk down the street all the time and am stopped by Democrats. I don't think they've ever actually met a Republican before.
