I think maybe it is about time for a governor who has created jobs, who's managed a budget, who's led and inspired large organizations, who listens well, and who can drive an agenda.
Meg Whitman

I want to spend 100 percent of my time focused on what I think I can make the biggest difference on as the governor of California.
Meg Whitman

I was the last Republican lieutenant governor and it's been over 20 years.
Mike Curb

I would never abdicate, nor would I expect any other governor to abdicate, the responsibility to protect the people of my state.
Joe Manchin

I'm all about job creation. That's what I've done for ten years as the governor of Texas, and that's what I'm focused on.
Rick Perry

I'm on Governor Gray Davis' California Alliance Towards Education to bring the arts back to high schools.
Sally Kirkland

I'm thinking about governing as the governor of this state, and that's what I'm going to do.
George Pataki

I'm truly worried about the country's direction. I can tell you this categorically, we've got the weakest president and the weakest governor in the history of my 50 years of public service.
Fritz Hollings

I've gone from being one of the youngest governors to now the longest consecutive serving governor in the country.
John Engler

I've made more cuts than any governor has ever made.
Jim Doyle

If I were running to be somebody, there are a lot of easier sombodies to be. After all, running against the incumbent governor of your own party in your home state is not the next logical step in a political life.
Marco Rubio

If my acceptance of the office of Governor would serve my country, though my administration would be attended with the loss of personal credit and reputation, I would cheerfully undertake it.
Christopher Gadsden

If you don't like the President, it costs you 90 bucks to fly to Washington to picket. If you don't like the Governor, it costs you 60 bucks to fly to Albany to picket. If you don't like me, 90 cents.
Edward Koch

If you're a governor of a big state, people sense your presence a little bit, even your fellow governors.
Ed Gillespie

In choosing Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate, John McCain has chosen for the future.
Rudy Giuliani

In fact, I think that Governor Clinton, when he was running, and President Clinton, when he was serving, actually governed with a wide range of advisors and a perspective that blended the best of ideas from the center and the left.
John Podesta

In my first year as governor, we solved some of the problems that had begun to undermine the Open Records Act. We gave the act teeth by providing criminal penalties for knowing violations.
Roy Barnes

In the final analysis this congressional race is always going to be a close race, whether there's a presidential race or governor's race or not. But is this a better year? Yes, this would probably be a better year.
Baron Hill

It is my happy privilege to be able to stand here and tell you that if you elect me you will have elected a governor who has made no promises of preferment to any man or group.
Charles Edison

It was very constraining, much more than I ever would have thought, to run for governor.
Christine Gregoire
