Politics thrives on simple clean messages something that played to Obama's advantage in 2008. Stagnant unemployment and the loss of America's AAA rating are as simple and tough as they come. This is the economy on Obama's watch and there's no one left to blame.

The precise point at which a tax deduction becomes a 'loophole' or a tax incentive becomes a 'subsidy for special interests' is one of the great mysteries of politics.

I understand the process of politics and the game of television.

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

I cry sometimes because I'm not 20 years younger and I'm not healthy. But if I were I would even sacrifice my writing to enter politics.

You don't go into politics unless you want to win.

I've had an interest in politics since I was a little kid.

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

I was looking for something like baseball where there's a lot of data and the competition was pretty low. That's when I discovered politics.

First of all I think it's odd that people who cover politics wouldn't have any political views.
