There's a lot of stress involved when your house is underwater.

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.

My goal was never to get re-elected.

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

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

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.

Politicians are no different than the rest of the public.
