When you add impediments to voting for no reason, it tends to discriminate against the poor and minorities.

Blacks were systematically targeted to keep them off the voting roles. I think that we're a long way from saying the vote is protected by the federal government.

Voting yourself a nice pay raise is not the reason you were sent to Harrisburg.

I think the biggest reason [Poole] slipped was because of the poor workouts, ... He didn't workout as well as everybody thought he would. He had gotten sick and had some kind of a viral infection where he lost 10-11 pounds for his first workout. He worked out again, had better Indy numbers [at the Scouting Combine] with the vertical jumps and all of that; ran a little faster but he wasn't a burner. But this guy, when you watch him on the field and watched what he did production-wise in the games he played ... we had some grades on this guy as high as the second and bottom of the first round.

Politics is a dirty game. And distortions of one's voting record and one's position seems to be the order of the day. So whatever happens, happens.

If there is ever a time for grassroots to come together, this is the time. Some may tell you that you can't fight city hall or ATC. Well, if you don't fight, you can't win.
