“Much of what Tea Party candidates claimed about the world and the global economy during the 2010 elections would have earned their adherents a well-deserved F in any freshman economics (or earth science) class.”

“Veteran print editors and reporters at places like the 'Times' and 'The New Yorker' manage to feed and clothe their families without costing their companies a million bucks a month, and they produce a great deal more valuable reporting and analysis than the network news stars do.”

“Voters do not choose candidates because of their ideological fit. They choose them because of their cultural fit.”

“This is about these particular candidates in this particular year. That's what motivates me.”

“I think people more and more are tired of the party system. People want good candidates and good people to win.”
