Whether or not we can save Lake Michigan, whether or not we can avoid a breakdown in our criminal justice system are more important than whether or not I’m going to be governor.
I didn’t really realize I was a woman director until I walked onto the set at Pinewood Studios when I did ‘Mamma Mia!’ and everybody was calling each other ‘Governor’ and ‘Sir’… and then, looking at me, ‘Well… good morning!’
I always felt the gifts you need as governor were more suited for my personality. I’m a good team player, but I’m not a policy wonk. In Congress, you need 218 votes to make anything happen. When you’re governor, you’re the CEO of the state. You establish the vision and standards for the state. You’re the leader.
Governor Huckabee has the communication skills of Ronald Reagan and a common sense business approach to government.

I love Romney. It is not his fault that he is the son of a successful governor and makes $20 million a year.
He’s a family man and a businessman. He spent his career building successful companies. Then, he saved the 2002 Olympics and brought pride to our nation. As governor, he balanced the budget, cut taxes, and created jobs. The president America needs is Mitt Romney!
During Governor Jennifer Granholm’s administration, Michigan has experienced job losses, declining personal incomes, diminishing home values, and the highest unemployment rate in the nation.
As lieutenant governor, I’ve traveled the world representing Iowa, working to expand our markets, while bringing investment and jobs to our state. I’ve worked on policy that attracts, retains and expands high-tech firms and fosters growth across Iowa.
I am truly grateful to have the support of Governor Patrick, a progressive champion and a leader on issues that truly impact the lives of our constituents.
Governor Romney has a record of tremendous accomplishments. But he never asks for accolades. He just asks, ‘How can I help?’ That’s the mark of a true leader: A humble focus on getting the job done.
I think that Governor Romney needs to talk about the fact that what he tried to do in the state of Massachusetts was him seeing what could be best for his state, but maybe it didn’t work out as well.
You’re feeling the responsibility for hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people on your shoulder in a way that I couldn’t feel as lieutenant governor.
I’m on a never-ending quest to get back on a TV series, and I want to get on ‘The Walking Dead’. I’m at this point now where, I have three things. I could either be on the Governor’s team, I could be on Rick’s team, or I could be a seven-foot zombie who never dies.
I can govern by bringing people together. And also, I’ve been tested in a way no one else has. I was governor on September 11th, and I’m proud of my leadership in bringing New York through that time. And when I left, we were stronger, we were safer, and we were more united than at any time in my lifetime.
As governor, I saw the link between economic prosperity and the ability to acquire knowledge.
My record as a pro-life governor is not in dispute. I am completely pro-life, and I believe that we should have a culture of life. It’s informed by my faith from beginning to end. And this not just as it related to unborn babies – I did it at the end of life issues as well. This is something that goes way beyond politics.
Governor Romney has paid 100 percent of his taxes that are owed. He has complied 100 percent with what the law requires.
It is my happy privilege to be able to stand here and tell you that if you elect me you will have elected a governor who has made no promises of preferment to any man or group.

Almost forty-five years after my parents first became Americans, I stand before you and them tonight as the proud governor of the state of South Carolina.
I’ll get a three-page letter and the last paragraph says ‘I know you’ll never read this, but here’s my number.’ I love to call those people because the first thing they say is, ‘Governor, I didn’t mean everything I said in the letter about you.’
A governor can be a very good friend to people. A governor can be a formidable force.
I will work with the governor no matter who the governor is. And I will always be Maya Wiley when I do it. That means I will call it as I see it.
Governor Kasich and I won’t agree on everything, but agree we’ve got to control the rise in health care costs on all levels.
Growing up I never imagined a little girl from a border town could one day become a governor. But this is America. In America algo es possible.
After ‘Paths to Freedom,’ I met some people who used to teach drama in Mountjoy and they said that the prisoners loved ‘Rats.’ We went back to Mountjoy to research this film and the governor was showing us around and he introduced us to a few prisoners.
As governor, I look forward to supporting our Guardsmen and their families in making sure they continue to receive the training and support they need so that they can continue to make us proud.

As Governor, it is my responsibility to give students every opportunity to be fully equipped with the skills needed to enter Missouri’s workforce. It is also important that, when needed, Missourians receive the proper treatment services necessary to gain employment or further their education.
As Governor of my country, I have been an enemy to its enemies; I have slain the English; I have mortally opposed the English King; I have stormed and taken the towns and castles which he unjustly claimed as his own.
That’s why I made decisions; they were tough decisions but we shouldn’t feel bad at all – don’t look back with any regrets, that’s how I made decisions as governor.

I am a believer in the rights of the unborn and the goodness of every life, and I have promised that, as governor, I will champion those values.
I think the idea of trying to demonize Governor Romney’s going to backfire. Their attempts so far have failed pretty outstandingly and I think at the end of the day, people are going to say, ‘what was Obama’s record?’ Governor Romney’s got pro-growth Reaganesque proposals on the table.
I was elevated as the State President and now I have been elevated as the Governor of the state.
It’s my job as governor to set a vision.
As governor, I want to make sure that Arizona’s hardworking taxpayers get to keep more of what they earn.
As a father, husband of a schoolteacher and governor of Louisiana, I am committed to improving education for all children in Louisiana.
My first responsibility as governor is to protect North Carolinians and keep them safe.
Governor Romney has said nothing about preschool. I think that giving the poorest kids in America wonderful preschool, and three years of it, starting when they are two-and-a-half, is absolutely crucial.
Human connection is the way things work. It’s like a patronage system. You know somebody, and he knows somebody, and he knows somebody, and he knows the district governor, and it’s okay.
