I Think That We Have A Responsibility

The Really Important Victory Of The Civil Rights Movement Was That It Made Racism Unpopular, Whereas A Generation Ago At The Turn Of The Last Century, You Had To Embrace Racism To Get Elected To Anything.

The Reason That Minorities And Women Dont Have A Better Shot At Getting Elected To The Senate Or To Statewide Office Is Because The Campaign Finance Rules Are So Skewed As To Make It Very Difficult For Non-traditional Candidates To Raise The Money Necessary To Get Elected.

I Think Its Time To Get A Reapportionment Process That Frankly Takes Out The Incumbency Protection And The Raw Politics Of The Process.

I Was Very Productive As A Senator For My State.

There Are No Permanent Friends Or Permanent Enemies, Just Permanent Interests.
