Mitt Romney turned businesses around in the private sector. He saved the Winter Olympics.

One of the things I get amused by is when my opponent talks about the middle class.

We showed that when we say 'Wisconsin is open for business', we mean it.

Now things have changed for the better. Our reforms end seniority and tenure so we can hire and fire based on merit and pay based on performance. That means we can put the best and the brightest in our classrooms - and we can keep them there.

I just think this is people who are chronically looking for ways to be upset about things.

I'd like now and into the future to play a bigger role not only in Wisconsin and the Midwest, but nationally. I'd like to have an impact.

In times of crisis what has made America amazing has been the fact that, throughout our history, throughout the more than 200 years of our history, there have been men and women of courage, who stood up and decided it was more important to look out for the future of their children and their grandchildren than their own political futures.
