Being the governor of a state is a more pivotal job in the future. I do indeed hope there's someone that says, I'm going to go to Washington, try to get back to our constitutional roots, devolve the centralization of government back to the states. So why would you want to be up there if the action is down here in the states?

America does not need to be worried with bailing out a European country that has made irresponsible expenditures, and then all of a sudden, throws their hands up and say, Oh, please come save us. That is not our responsibility in the United States of America.
