independent democrat
I am a Democrat. But I am an independent Democrat.
believe giving people
Republicans believe largely in the market working, Democrats believe stereotypically that you've got to give people something. So why not give people a chance to let the market work for them.
new-york winning giving
I refuse to do anything that would help Republicans win a Senate seat in New York, and give the Senate majority to the Republicans.
thinking choices flags
I expect the Republicans will enjoy a large bounce out of their convention. They're here wrapping themselves in the 9/11 flag, which I think is inappropriate in many ways, but it's their choice.
interracial-marriage
I'm in an interracial marriage.
believe gay thinking
I don't think it's a great leap to go from civil unions to gay marriage - I may be in the minority in believing that.
country new-york taken
I often have said to people that there are really two cities in the country where the outlook is always forward-looking - there is never really a backward-looking tendency. My banking work has taken me out to Palo Alto, what is commonly called Silicon Valley. And you sense out there is always a forward-looking outlook. And New York City.
choices pro-life life-is
To say that I am pro life is just wrong. I am personally pro-choice and legislatively pro-choice.
strong government healthy
The U.S. economy and workers benefit from a strong, healthy relationship between government and business.
president nonsense disappointed
Some say I was disappointed when President Obama won, and that is absolute nonsense.
killing terrorist cheaper
Killing terrorists is cheaper than capturing them.
who-i-am politician public-service
Public service is a part of who I am, having grown up in a family of politicians.
running country thinking
I think the country is very settled in a lot of ways, and we saw that after the Democratic Convention. I think a lot of the bump that we enjoyed came when John Kerry selected John Edwards as his running mate.
games yankees fans
I am a Yankees fan. I should say - have been to more Yankees games than Mets games.
