We didn't think taxes ought to go up. They ought to go down. We didn't think the census ought to be weakened.

Newt changed the frame of reference of all of our candidates. That's why we won so big in 1994.

Franklin Roosevelt was a great leader. He saw how to use the levers of power to affect change.

There's a very big gulf between the black civil rights leadership in America and the black middle class in America. The black middle class are conservative. Many of those minorities can be persuaded to be members of the Republican Party.

The struggle you see in the Republican Party today is the country club Republican versus the bowling alley Republican. Colin Powell brings us back to the country club image. He's an insider. He's a moderate.

That's the way it is with entrepreneurial people. You try one thing, it doesn't work, you try another.

Newt Gingrich's job to capture the Congress was to give Republican candidates an edge and a distinction from their Democratic opponent. That required a very high profile, some very strong language.
