Politics isn't just a game of clashing parties and competing interests.

I say to the Occupy protesters - you're occupying the wrong place, you're protesting the wrong thing.

Well, if I were in charge, they would know that waterboarding is how we baptize terrorists.

The Dutch and the Norwegians, they are known for dikes and for cleaning up water and for dealing with spills.

I can't imagine where I'd be without the opportunities provided to me in sports. Sports taught me that gender isn't an issue; in fact, when people talk about me being the first female governor, I'm a little absent from that discussion, because I've never thought of gender as an issue. In sports, you learn self-discipline, healthy competition, to be gracious in victory and defeat, and the importance of being part of a team and understanding what part you play on that team. You all work together to reach a goal, and I think all of those factors come into play in my role as governor.

I am pro-life and I believe that marriage should only be between and man and a woman.

I say, too, with education, America needs to be putting a lot more focus on that and our schools have got to be really ramped up in terms of the funding that they are deserving. Teachers needed to be paid more.
