Going into politics is something people have asked me about forever.

It's not about division. It's not about politics. My concern is how do we come together?

When I started 'CNN ' I made the decision to stay out of endorsing candidates and let the doers make up their own minds about politics that it wasn't going to come from me.

If I cry it's about the personal loss of a friend or something like that. But when it comes to politics - no I don't cry.

Well you know what I'm 60 years old and I've been interested in politics since I was on my daddy's knee. During the 1948 election we were praying for Truman. I know a lot about politics.

In general people feel more relaxed about participating in politics. They aren't frightened as they used to be.

I still love following and thinking about politics. I enjoy recommending important journalism I read or see from other sources.

I deliberately did not read anything about the Vietnam War because I felt the politics of the war eclipsed what happened to the veterans. The politics were irrelevant to what this memorial was.

I don't want to express my opinion about actual politics because if I do I have to be responsible for my decision.

Community organizing is all about building grassroots support. It's about identifying the people around you with whom you can create a common passionate cause. And it's about ignoring the conventional wisdom of company politics and instead playing the game by very different rules.
