I've spent the better part of my career in politics and public policy working on and fighting for education reforms.

I'm saying it loud: I'm a Republican who supports gay rights.

I don't really care how or why Obama got to the right place on gay marriage. I'm just glad he got there.

Negativity drove me out of politics in the mid-Nineties.

America glories in its tradition of the self-made individual. Political candidates compete to be a friend to entrepreneurs, and policymakers, imagining the next Microsoft or Google, design laws to back the innovator in the garage.

Reasonable people can reasonably disagree on policy.

A Rick Santorum presidency would be very, very dangerous for America.
