Given the right to a free ballot, the people would support my return.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You're not going to get a chance to vote for me on the ballot, but you can actually vote for what I believe in.
If you want people to support you, then you have to support them. You have to think long about what you did for people who voted for you, made phone calls for you, who went door to door for you.
When you become active in the system and communicate to your representatives, and they don't vote in accordance with your values, your responsibility is to support candidates who will.
It's my constitutional right to have my choice of who I want to vote for for president.
I said I support anyone's right to run for public office and will support those people who support positions that's in the Republican platform.
I'd rather support the issues I truly believe in than give my vote to parties that court votes at the time of the election. I like to think that my vote strengthens the green foundation stone.
If elected members of any body - whether it's a state house or Congress - were not willing to take career-ending or at least election-losing votes, I would not have the right to vote today.
One of the promises I made when I ran was, I'll never vote with my reelection in mind.
If my acceptance of the office of Governor would serve my country, though my administration would be attended with the loss of personal credit and reputation, I would cheerfully undertake it.
If I put myself on the ballot and even 50 people voted for me, it'd be a travesty.
