We have a lot of thoughtful people in the U.S. Senate.

Senators will do what they think they need to do to represent their constituents.

I hope that as the Senate and American people learn more about me, they will see that I am an ordinary person who has been blessed with extraordinary opportunities and experiences.

As a candidate for Senate, I look forward to offering reforms based on limited government principles that will make our country stronger and more prosperous.

One difficulty in making the Senate work the way it was intended is that America's electorate is increasingly divided into red and blue states, with lawmakers representing just one color or the other.

I think dealing with the U.S. Senate is very different from dealing with the electorate.

What I think is at stake in 2012, is whether the five or six strong conservatives elected to the Senate in 2010 become 10 or 12. And if that happens, it will fundamentally shift the character of the Senate. It will shift the balance.

The bottom line is, there have been a lot of nuts elected to the United States Senate.

I feel that I am best positioned to fight for America's future here in the trenches of the United States Senate.

The Senate is a remarkable institution. It is unique. There is no other body, no other political body, no other democratic legislature in the world quite like the U.S. Senate.
