What made me decide to run was the dire state of the economy and the non-leadership of President Obama. At that point in time, my campaign put a mustache on Obama as part of the national campaign drive.

I think I know a lot about campaigns.

The reason I ran in 2006 was to make my district one of the fifteen that at the time it would have taken to switch the control of the House and stop the Bush agenda. The second priority I had was to provide health care for everybody. And the third was to do public financing of campaigns.

I know what motivated you was not just a political campaign. It was your love of our country.

I acted on my core beliefs on social issues as governor.

What campaigns are for is weeding out the people who, for one way or another, weren't making it for the long haul.

The important things that in a campaign we talk about, let us not forget that once the election is over.

I will go on doing what voters tell me to do, which is working with others, working out solutions, and getting results.

I definitely learned about the inner workings of campaigns enough to know that I'm glad that I'm not in politics.
