This is not an election where we hand out gifts. It is an election where we ask everyone to contribute more.

My political giving has merely followed my relationships.

I'd love to be the political voice of my generation, but that's not my gift.

I don't give any gifts to the rich.

I'm basically a gift-giver.

My politics are of a practical kind - the integrity of the country, the supremacy of the Federal government, an honorable peace, or none at all.

So I show appreciation for the little gifts that have been handed to me.

People show surprise that I have interests outside my political career. There is subtle surprise, for example, that I would be interested in a recipe.

I'm very politically active, but that has nothing to do with my charity.
