Chief executives that are successful make good chief executives.

The people who are making you feel under attack is your union leadership, and they're doing it for politically intense reasons.

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

I joke with my kids, who love history, that I'll be the only governor to be elected twice in his first term.

More people on unemployment benefits is not success in America, fewer people on not because we kicked them off but because they have been able to get a job in the private sector, because government got out of the way.

I don't think that split government is a good idea. Conventional wisdom in Washington for years has been that divided government is good because of a check and a balance. What I believe happens all too often, regardless of which party is there's gridlock. And I think the better argument is give one party a chance, give them a chance with a House and a Senate and a president. Give them a few years to see what they can do. And if you don't like it, put another party in.

But Mitt Romney understands, like I understand, that people - not governments - create jobs.
