White House Press Secretaries

I think it will pass the House, I'll be curious about the Senate and it's an important part of how to eventually bring the deficit down. It's a great start.

If jobs don't get created and the economy stays weak, it's going to be terrible for Barack Obama and deservedly so.

Republicans have already come out for a freeze on all domestic discretionary spending at 2008 levels, which is a very significant cut to spending.

Barack Obama missed the boat on the core issues about spending, and now it's come back to bite him.

This was, across the board, a repudiation of Democrat ideology. Forget messaging.

The more the liberal media attack her... the more her supporters seem to rally around her and raise money for her.

She deserves scrutiny and she has to give answers. But, right now, all the arrows and all the darts are pointed at her, and her opponent has been given a total free pass.

These ideological struggles within parties also can be healthy.

These are legitimate issues she has to deal with.

This is a candidate who has had trouble with money, trouble with jobs, trouble with the truth.

There is a piling-on factor that doesn't similarly happen when there are candidates on the other side of the aisle.

If gaffes disqualify you from office, Joe Biden never would have made it to the vice presidency.

Where is the coverage of Charlie Rangel's win in Harlem, where you have one of the most corrupt members of Congress who got reaffirmed by the people of his district to come back to Washington?

I was gracious enough to praise President Obama for saying that. It's an appropriate moment for our country to bring them home and to welcome them home.

This is actually good news for the Republicans, now that it's finally over. It was a shock that Lisa Murkowski lost, but now that it's going to be a unified field, Alaska is safe territory for Republicans. And it will be -- it will be a…

Well, I think Paul's last point is exactly why nobody should take this very seriously. It's a political thing.

In Paul Begala's view of the world, we'd all be better off and safer off if Saddam Hussein was still running Iraq.

But this is actually good news for the Republicans now that it's finally over. It was a shock that Lisa Murkowski lost, but now that it's going to be a unified field.

It's a political thing. And I lived on the other side of it when the liberal Democrat base used to say some more things about George Bush.
