I think maybe it is about time for a governor who has created jobs, who's managed a budget, who's led and inspired large organizations, who listens well, and who can drive an agenda.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The campaign is over. It's time for the work of governing to begin.
Running to do a job as important as the governor's shouldn't be easy; it should take a lot of work, and I'm out there giving my best every day.
People deserve to see a governor who is hustling every day.
The party has to be rebuilt on all levels. In a way, maybe it's to be expected when you've had a governor in office for 12 years and he and his people are stepping down.
The job of a leader, the job of a governor, the job of a president, is to get the people in the room and bang enough heads together and rub enough arms and cajole enough to have them put the country and the state's greater interest ahead of their own personal partisan interest. That's what we did in New Jersey and that's the model for America.
I'm floored that the House leadership would turn its back on job creation for Mississippians.
Doing something about infrastructure is something I would like to see while I'm governor.
I have a job to do on policy. And I think that's what people want their governor to do. Not politics, policy.
It will take some time before a politician will capture the imagination of the American people and have the vision and understanding to do what is necessary for a better future for the people of America and the world.
The job of mayor and Governor is becoming more and more like the job of university president, which I used to be; it looks like you are in charge, but you are not.
