I'm going to be a vice president very much like George Bush was. He proved to be a very effective vice president, perhaps the most effective we've had in a couple of hundred years.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
President Bush gave me a tremendous opportunity to serve as the vice president. I enjoyed very much having the opportunity to be a part of his team. He told me at the outset, he wanted me to sign on to be a part of his team - and he was true to his word, kept it. He was tough. He was decisive. He was also a pretty good politician.
I would love to be president. I just concluded I was not the best person to carry forward the Republican torch.
In my heart, I'm confident I could make a good president.
I believe I would be a very strong general-election candidate.
Don't get me wrong: I would love to be president.
I think I will be a great president having to do with the military and also having to do with taking care of our vets.
In ten years I will become president of the United States Of America.
I think my vice would be outdoing myself.
As a president I will be like the candidate that I am, a respectful candidate, a rallying candidate, a normal candidate for a normal presidency, at the service of the Republic.
I will be a president who is close to the people.
