I don't know yet, ... But I am concerned President Bush nominated someone who is a blank slate. I'm disappointed he wanted to nominate someone like that instead of someone with a record.

It's just a record that is almost a blank slate. There's no sense of what he's doing for the citizens of this state. What's he fighting for on our behalf? I don't know the answer to that. I don't know if anyone does.

Having a blank slate is sometimes as daunting as it is exciting.

In 2006 it was a horrible election year, and, you know, I lost. But I lost because I continued to be a constant conservative, and the last six years I was someone who was a national figure in the sense that I was the third ranking Republican in leadership and I had just run President Bush's campaign in Pennsylvania.

The vote was 10-8 the day President Bush nominated him, the vote was 10-8 when the hearings began, the vote was 10-8 yesterday, and the vote is 10-8 today.

Life is just a blank slate, what matters most is what you write on it
