I tend to overwrite; I need a good editor.

I love covering stories that have huge historic impacts.

The war against ISIS will pose many new challenges for the next commander-in-chief. The last two presidents [George W. Bush and Barack Obama] pursued a Middle East policy that supported toppling dictators to try to promote democracy.

No Republican has ever been elected president of the United States without winning Ohio.

My rule of thumb is that if I am interested or intrigued by something, others will be as well.

If you are a reliable, honest journalist, sources will open up and trust you and share good information.

My inclination, as an old-school, classically trained journalist, is not to go with a story unless I have it hard. It's not good enough to say something based on rumors that were flying around.
