I believe we will stay together to fight for some real reform – education reform, health reform. I think the governor's unintended consequences brought together a group of people that isn't going to go away.

What we are saying is we think he should have talked to us first (about changing education funding).

Health reform has been like a car with a dead battery. I think this will provide the jumper cables. I think we could do it with a five-year plan. I think we have a situation where health insurance premiums are going up at four times the rate of wages. So the American worker is caught in a squeeze I think the lesson from Massachusetts is that if we get together and split the differences, and come up with compromise approaches, we don't have to turn the health care system upside down. We don't have to go to a socialized approach. We can do this within the context of our system.

We will be there – and no, it's not a problem.

We will have health care reform in America.

Who will want to teach the poor students, the students who don't speak English as well? ... This makes us vulnerable to the growing attacks by districts, school boards and our enemies.
