I think the more we embrace the culture of life and respect life, the better that we do.

My wife and daughters work. My campaign manager in 2005 was a working mother. I appointed 5 women to my senior staff as Attorney General.

No president has ever been elected with unemployment over 8 percent.

I'm really the candidate who has really lived his whole life in suburbia.

I wrote my thesis on welfare policy.

Anytime you have a reelection campaign against an incumbent president and you're the party out of power - on the one hand it's wide open because there's not an heir apparent - but people are also gauging how strong is that incumbent president and what are my chances.

Fiscal responsibility and government reform are going to be good themes for governing, well at any time, but particularly coming out of a recovery.

Expanding Medicaid without fixing Medicaid is a terrible idea.

I tell you what Hispanics in Virginia tell me they want. They want access to the American dream. That's why they come here to Virginia and to America, so they want more opportunities to start small business, better schools.

Are we a nation of guarantees or are we a nation of opportunities to achieve the American dream?

I'm chairman of the Republican Governors Association.

If you know you're supported, you're going to work harder, you're going to be more focused on your mission.

The governor is Virginia's chief executive and represents the commonwealth at all times.

Every governor's got tough choices to make.

I think in Washington, D.C., a lot of people are talking down about business.

Like everybody, my views on many issues have changed as I have gotten older.

The citizens must be certain that the governor is attending to the duties for which he was elected.
