You can't be the candidate and the campaign manager.

Look, Orrin Hatch is not a bad guy. But he is an old guy, and he's a lifer politician.

Orrin Hatch is old enough to be my father, and I don't want my father running the United States Senate Finance Committee.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm running against Mitt Romney or Sen. Hatch.

I am not the candidate of career politicians in Washington.

Well, I'm not a member of the permanent political establishment, and I've learned quickly these last few days that if you're not a member in good standing of the Washington elite, then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone.

I'm not running for president.

You can't be a part-time Richard Dawkins.

He's 78 years old... He's not the same Orrin Hatch I knew 12 years ago.

I've accepted that I was a failure in politics. I was not qualified for the job.
