Are we going to let the entire automobile industry domestic manufactured automotive industry, disappear and just say well, that was tough, it's just the way it is.

Throwing money at the auto industry is not going to help it long term. If you just write a check that you're going to see these companies go out of business ultimately, what you can't do is just send a big check. Billions and billions of…

And we better fix Michigan and get Michigan on track. And anybody who comes in here, Republican or Democrat, and says they want to help Michigan say, where have you been?

I understand that -- the battles we, as conservatives, must fight because I have been on the front lines.

I fought against long odds in a deep blue state, but I was a severely conservative Republican governor.

no state should be forced to accept the Nation's nuclear waste against its will.

For my dad, for my dad and for hundreds of thousands, millions of others like him, and like my mom as well, this was the land of opportunity. Where the circumstance of birth was no barrier to being able to achieve one's dreams.

The presidency is not a place to learn how to lead. It's a place to exercise the judgment and leadership that has been learned over a lifetime, and that's precisely what I'll do.

This is a moment in time when our country is crying out for fundamental change and reform. Washington cannot reform itself and Washington will never be reformed by those who have been compromised by the culture of Washington.

No, Mr. President, under the definition of progress you made right here four years ago in Denver, you have not made progress.

This was a good night for Rick Santorum. I want to congratulate Senator Santorum. Wish him the very best.

President Obama has failed. We will succeed.

We say he's learning too little and too late.

Now, under President Obama, the average duration of unemployment has more than doubled. And there's some 14 million more people on food stamps today than when he took office. Again, by President Obama's own definition, he has failed, and…

But we're going to take our message of liberty and prosperity to every corner of the country. And when this primary season is over, we're going to stand united as a party behind our nominee to defeat Barack Obama and restore the values…

The polling, if you believe it, shows him losing a head-to-head matchup, 52-43, to the president among registered voters.

The good news for him, a slim majority think he'd do better than President Obama on jobs, the economy and the deficit.

The Romney campaign is fighting back hard on that polling, attacking the methodology.

Three years ago this week, a newly elected President Obama faced the American people and he said, look, if I can't turn this economy around in three years, I will be looking at a one-term proposition, and we're here to collect.

You've got to take the whole sentence, all right, as opposed to saying, and then change it just a little bit, because then it sounds very different. I've said throughout the campaign my focus, my concern, my energy is going to be devoted…
