We had very successful events and a tremendous amount of enthusiasm for this governor. The sense of change in state government is palpable, and it's been very easy to raise money.

No question. They demonstrated to the world they can organize.

It's a large number of people sending small checks.

That's true, unfortunately, and until we get a change in the qualification system, that could happen in several events. I think there needs to be more on time and merit than on the top two in each region.

We've seen amazing things happen with those involved with Habitat Blitz events. Not only does it change the lives of those who once struggled to find a safe, clean place to live, but it also changes the lives of the builders and manufactures who participate. It certainly has for Whirlpool Corporation. Habitat has become a part of our company's DNA, and so many of our employees have been personally inspired and empowered through working with Habitat.

I think we played fabulous. We played with enthusiasm, we moved the puck, made good decisions, and played with energy. Any flaws (I point out), I would just be nit-picking. I thought we played well across the board. I'm really happy.
