I am trying to send directions out and keep control of state government for the final month.

Well, Bill, I don't think you're going to find many shy people that are in the political business.

I have directed all of my cabinet to work to prepare a transition plan for the incoming administration.

My goal was never to get re-elected.

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.

The important aspect shouldn't be whose administration it is, the important aspect should be how does the state of Wisconsin work, what can we do to move Wisconsin forward.

I also do not like the idea of soft money, these issue ads - people don't know where the money is coming from, millions and millions of dollars outside of the control of a candidate - there's no accountability.
