I'm pleased to offer analysis of public policy and politics to the millions of Americans who get their news from Fox.
The amount of U.S. debt held by countries such as China and Japan is at a historic high, with foreign investors holding half of America's publicly held debt. This dependence raises the specter that other nations will be able to influence our policies in ways antithetical to American interests.
Families and businesses are tightening their belts to make ends meet - and Washington should too.
I love working for the people of Indiana. I love helping our citizens make the most of their lives, but I do not love Congress.
I've had a growing conviction that Congress is not operating as it should. There is much too much partisanship and not enough progress.
What we need to do is to come together as a people and solve the problems facing our country. And unfortunately, Washington is just not doing enough of that these days.
Hoosiers are very independent.
If I could help educate our children at an institution for higher learning, that would be a noble thing.
What matters is moving forward and focusing on practical results for the American people.

I believe I would be a very strong general-election candidate.
Washington is totally out of touch with mainstream America.
The only way Democrats can govern in this country is by making common cause with moderates and independents.
We shouldn't have someone working in the Oval Office trying to discredit and smear a private individual who's just speaking their mind about an important issue facing the country. That is not going to move our nation forward.
If, by demanding revolutionary change, I run the risk of accomplishing nothing on behalf of the public, then I'm not sure that's a responsible course of action.
Sometimes you have to make tough decisions to hold the line on spending.
Between being governor and part of the Senate, one of the things I did was I held a chair at the business school at my alma mater, Indiana University. And I'd go to lecture the graduates, and I loved that, answering their questions. It was real; it was tangible, and it was making a difference every day.
No one ever built the filibuster rule. It just kind of was created.
Many good people serve in Congress. They are patriotic, hard-working, and devoted to the public good as they see it, but the institutional and cultural impediments to change frustrate the intentions of these well-meaning people as rarely before.
