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've said we need to look at things from the perspective of working people and taxpayers, not from the perspective of government and government officials.

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.

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

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

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.

My goal was never to get re-elected.
