My success was not based so much on any great intelligence but on great common sense.

I very much hope that common sense and intelligence will prevail and an agreement will be reached in the coming days,

It is a tragic case of overloading the back porches, ... use common sense.

Looking at these numbers, what do they tell anyone who's got any common sense? Everything you're seeing is just too little, too late.

One idea that everybody who has common sense ought to agree on is the last thing we need is higher gas taxes. Higher gas taxes are bad for families. They're bad for workers. ... It's bad for jobs.

At least Nebraska is doing that. Nebraska does show some common sense.
