Political success is a good deal pleasanter than political failure, but it too brings its problems.
I have done things politically, and I've been running a business at the same time, but I sort of joke that to some extent I do more than most legislators have done in their whole careers, and I've been doing it as a part-time job.
When I became chief minister of Punjab in 1985, I got Murree Road carpeted for the first time.
I come from a government in Indiana where we did get things done.
I have no more campaigns to run... I know because I won both of them.
George H.W. Bush had perhaps the greatest resume in American history. Director of the CIA, ambassador to the U.N., envoy to China, vice president of the United States and then, of course, president. It's staggering to contemplate one person achieving so much.
John Kerry's biography was central to his campaign.
I can say with some confidence that President Zardari's legacy will be written in golden words. I don't say this as his son, or patron-and-chief of the Pakistan People's Party - but as a student of history.

I think I governed effectively. I don't have any doubts about that. I had the benefit, when I was in office, of having an excellent relationship with the Republican Party.
