Nixon in 1968, unlike Obama 2008, was elected as a minority president with only 43 percent of the vote. Yet, in 1972, he won what, in some measures, was the most lopsided election in American history with 61 percent.

Every great political campaign rewrites the rules devising a new way to win is what gives campaigns a comparative advantage against their foes.

For the record, I am not an admitted homosexual, nor am I a homosexual, though I do know the lyrics to every show tune ever written, which might perhaps account for the confusion.

Obama's coalition would have consigned him to the political margins as little as 12 years ago, but the nation's demographic changes are moving far more quickly than most Republicans anticipated.

I've worked as someone's deputy, and now it's time for me to run something. It's time for me to run my own shop.

Back in 1995, Bill Gates himself didn't understand that the internet was the direction computing was going.

The great mystery is why robots come off so well in science-fiction films when the human characters are often so astoundingly wooden.

America is great not because it's a team. America is great because it is a nation whose founding documents elevated the rights of the individual.

The problem is that borrowing money to pay back more borrowed money that will oblige you in the future to borrow even more money doesn't sound kosher. Because it isn't.

The sad truth is that you can have peace processes all you like, but if one side is committed to war, then it's war.

Hurtling the Pentagon into an unprecedented budgetary meltdown is horrifically irresponsible. Obama doesn't care. This is war - not against the Taliban, but war against the GOP. He has Republicans on the ropes, and that's a victory he savors and desires - unlike Afghanistan, where he seems only to want to turn tail.
