I feel passionately about issues, and I don't hide my emotions from people. I am not a focus group-tested, blow-dried candidate or governor. Now that has always made some people, you know, uneasy. Some people like that style, some people don't. [...] But I am not a bully.

I absolutely believe that, come November 2012, I'm going to be governor of New Jersey and not in any other office. But the fact of the matter is, if Gov. Romney, who's going to be our nominee, picked up the phone and called me to talk about this, I love my country enough and I love my party enough to listen.

The fact is that [Hillary Clinton] has been the person who started this type of conversation in the campaign. She should be ashamed of herself.

When I think about the folks who are out there at home tonight watching... They know that this country is not respected around the world anymore. They know that this country is pushing the middle class, the hardworking taxpayers, backwards, and they saw a president who doesn't understand their pain, and doesn't have any plan for getting away from it.

I am pro-life, I believe in exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother. That's my position, take it or leave it.

Everybody in America has to be part of a shared sacrifice to create opportunity for greatness again for our people and our country.

Governor Romney has been successful. I think, that's what we want in a President of the United States.
