I think in Washington, D.C., a lot of people are talking down about business.
We have lost certainty and predictability in the regulatory and tax climate in America, and this is why we're recovering so slowly.
There is no question that the minority party always makes a sport of going after the governor.
The governor is Virginia's chief executive and represents the commonwealth at all times.
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.
Besides the healthcare bill being unconstitutional and a great expansion of federal government, I think if it does not respect people's individual religious views and makes groups or individuals do things that are contrary to their deeply held beliefs, there is going to be a visceral negative reaction.
The citizens must be certain that the governor is attending to the duties for which he was elected.

Republican governors are leading the way in helping the private sector create new jobs, reforming government and getting our economy back on track.

Expanding Medicaid without fixing Medicaid is a terrible idea.
Every governor's got tough choices to make.
Are we a nation of guarantees or are we a nation of opportunities to achieve the American dream?
If you know you're supported, you're going to work harder, you're going to be more focused on your mission.
