When you ask people, do they believe that we ought to have trade, I think people understand it's important.

I have never worshipped at the altar of free trade, but I've always been an advocate of free trade.

[Barack Obama] needs to really engage both Republicans and Democrats.

The stuff that I propose are things that I'm ready to govern with. They're not tools to get elected. They are programs and plans to do when you get elected.

Im a believer in bipartisanship.

I've always been a reformer all the time I served in public office, and remain a reformer in Ohio, but I also know how to get things done. And I think it's important that, while we acknowledge the anxieties that Americans have, I think it's also important we realize at the end of the day, we need to have somebody who knows how to land a plane, and I've landed quite a few planes.

I think if there's anything that's important today, it's credibility with the voter, because the voter is tired of being sold a bill of goods.
