It is always tough to win every booth right across the electorate because there are different issues in different parts of the electorate.

I love seeing America vote, through the prism of my older working class neighborhood in Riverside, California.

I'm totally down with insurrection in the street. I've had a great time with that over the years. Insurrection in the voting booth is the other part of the equation.

It's a complicated set of opinions that women bring to the voting booth.

I love voting day. I love the sight of my fellow citizens lining up to make their voices heard.

Voting has not been tough for me, for the most part, because there's guideposts about what will bring about the greatest amount of happiness for the greatest amount of people.

Voting is like alchemy - taking an abstract value and breathing life into it.

My view on politics is much more grassroots oriented; it's not old boy network oriented, so I tend to, you know, come at it a little bit stronger, a little bit more street-wise, if you will. That's rubbed some feathers the wrong way.

What I look at with each vote is that priority of whether it's good for the middle class or not.
