There is not a big anti-incumbent movement building out there. This is a snapshot in time that doesn't mean a lot.

When was the last time that (a budget bill) was ever featured in a TV ad? ... I don't believe that there are any political implications to this vote.

I'm not a self-promoter. I'm not on TV all the time.

I spend all my time trying to avoid the spotlight.

I think anybody in office — Republican or Democrat — is somewhat concerned, because, unlike a lot of other big issues out there, this one impacts people where they care about it most, and that's their pocketbook.

The fact that someone commissioned a poll doesn't mean anything. A poll is a snapshot of time that may or may not change as a result of the commissioner's testimony.
