I refuse to believe America isn't capable of taking back its place as a moral leader of the free and democratic world. I know there are good people who are willing to lead. I really hope they don't let all of us down. (fin) — PolitiTweet.org

We are supposed to lead the world. We are supposed to have the kind of strength that demands dictators and autocrats are shamed and driven from power. How are we to be that leader when our own shrine to democracy is overrun? (13/) — PolitiTweet.org

And while the job has always been to hold power to account, and I have covered my share of cowards and hypocrites and worse, I have also been inspired by the public servants who come here to try and make our world better (6/) — PolitiTweet.org

There were lions here: John McCain, Ted Kennedy, John Warner...early on, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden were all here too. I could wander up to any one of them, tape recorder in hand, and demand they answer my questions (5/) — PolitiTweet.org

I've worked for a tiny policy newsletter, a newspaper, a magazine, a newswire, and now one of the big 3 national TV networks. I've had nice offices and tiny windowless desks. I've covered this place when Republicans ran it and when Democrats ran it. (2/) — PolitiTweet.org
