Well for me the pro-life issue has been something I've been very passionate about since the '70s and I have been very involved in the pro-life community since long before politics.

People not just reporters are more interested in politics than in government so the actual issues wouldn't be something that interested them.

I have got instincts that I think are very much in tune with people's very keen sense to see something different. I did not dream of being in politics since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. I was not involved in student politics or not in that partisan way.

But I'm not interested in politics. I lose interest the microsecond it ceases to be emotional when something becomes a political movement. What I'm interested in is emotions.

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

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.

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.

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.
