So when we start talking about the state and all those that are so important and engaged and supportive around Florida, we've gotten overwhelming support, and it's so exciting.

Of course there are critics who believe that no matter what we do, the Florida dream is over. They claim that we must accept the idea that inevitably our future is one of high taxes and big government.

I see a bright future for Florida and for America, and my campaign will be about the ideas and principles that will help us achieve a more perfect union.

I'm blessed to represent Florida in the United States Senate.

You know how only you can insult your own family? That's how I feel about Florida.

It doesn't matter how much I think I know about Florida, it still flips me on the head every time. It's just an absurd, eclectic place, and the stories that can come out of that place just never stop.

I am absolutely convinced that Florida will become the most exciting place in the world to live and work.

I'm from the South. I'm a Southern Baptist. I have a conservative point of view. I'm a Republican.

Florida isn't so much a place where one goes to reinvent oneself, as it is a place where one goes if one no longer wished to be found.
