Although I'd first seen Senator Hart in Aspen, Colorado, at a New Year's Day party in 1987, we hadn't talked.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
No one heard about Bill Clinton on his first trip to New Hampshire. I showed Mike Huckabee around the state years before he ran, and no one knew him then, either.
The first time I met Bill Clinton was actually 1988.
I didn't run for office to make friends.
One of the first members of Congress I met when I was first elected in 2008 was Barney Frank.
As a matter of fact, I didn't make a political speech outside of my state for 20 years.
In some communities, I show up, and they say, 'Well, we haven't seen our Democrat congressman in 10 years.'
I didn't go to parties or anything like that.
We are scheduled to meet this year fewer days than any Congress since at least 1948. And that is even before I was born. So far, we are in the 123rd day of this year, and yet we have only had 26 voting days in this body. That is a shame.
I never had a single conversation about politics with Ross Perot in my life; still haven't.
I know Gov. Christie. We've met a couple of times.
