Not only does political coverage often lose the signal—it frequently accentuates the noise.

A lot of journalism wants to have what they call objectivity without them having a commitment to pursuing the truth, but that doesn't work. Objectivity requires belief in and a commitment toward pursuing the truth - having an object outside of our personal point of view.

People attach too much importance to intangibles like heart, desire and clutch hitting.

I guess I don't like the people in politics very much, to be blunt.

Well the way we perceive accuracy and what accuracy is statistically are really two different things.

I have to think about how to not spread myself too thin. It's a really great problem to have.

In politics people build whole reputations off of getting one thing right.
