text:  We're news-driven in the morning. I am center-right. I go way back in the Republican Party. First campaign in 1974 as a college kid in Massachusetts. Ran all of Massachusetts for Ford Dole in 1976. Went into the Reagan administration in 83, stayed until 89, went to work again after the Reagan administration, back to San Clemente, California, and Yorba Linda, California, working for Richard Nixon, for whom I worked after.
