My goal was to do the best job I could in governing the state of Wisconsin, in some cases making very tough decisions to have to bring our spending in line with the resources we had at the state level.

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

I'm not sure a candidate ever feels his message is getting out.

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

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.

My goal was never to get re-elected.
