Governor Palin leans far closer to 'spokesperson' than representative of the people.
Adam McKay
While my mother is from Jammu, my father was originally from Afghanistan, as my grandfather was the governor of five provinces there, including Herat.
Adnan Sami
It's a coup by the GOP to grab the governorship to California to make this place a safe haven for George W. Bush in 2004. It's incredible when you think about it. The recall cost the state $100 million.
Al Jardine
You could hear him, literally, half a mile away when he opened up. He was at his peak then. He was, naturally, dying to get out of the place he was in, and he recorded for us his appeal for pardon to the governor.
Alan Lomax
His father is governor of Media, and though he has the greatest command given him of all the rest of my generals, he still covetously desires more, and my being without issue spurs him on to this wicked design. But Philotas takes wrong measures.
Alexander the Great
Comedy and politics have a lot in common. Both are great ways to pick up chicks - just look at Governor Spitzer. Or Ellen Degeneres. Both require spending time on the road meeting strangers who often have the desire to throw things at you. Both are difficult, if not impossible, to do all alone. And both rely heavily on personality.
Alexandra Petri
Growing up in Waterloo, the Governor General's Award wasn't something I even thought to wish for.
Alexi Zentner
To map the Governor General's Award is to map both the past and the future of Canadian literature, and to be nominated for my first book is wonderful.
I think that Governor Romney operates on the capital gains tax, his investments, what he lives off of instead of doing it off of his income.
Allen West
I think that Governor Romney needs to talk about the fact that what he tried to do in the state of Massachusetts was him seeing what could be best for his state, but maybe it didn't work out as well.
Southern politicians who have tried to rise above the passionate rhetoric surrounding the Civil War have frequently found themselves dragged back into the mire. Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell, a Republican, was forced to apologise when his proclamation declaring April Confederate History Month failed to make any reference to slavery.
Amanda Foreman
A governor can be a very good friend to people. A governor can be a formidable force.
Andrew Cuomo
I'm governor of New York.
I'm running for governor; I'm not running for a legislative office.
I actually believe that Florida and its rich diversity are going to be looking for a governor who's going to bring us together, not divide us. Not misogynist, not racist, not bigots.
Andrew Gillum
The job of the governor of the state of Florida is to do what is in the best interest of the people of the state of Florida.
DeSantis can do the bidding of big business and big lobbyists and Donald Trump and his divisive rhetoric. I'm going to be here to do the business of the people of the state of Florida. That's the job of the governor of this state.
I'll be a governor who not only respects and listens to workers, but also fights for policies that make it easier for them to earn a good living and get ahead.
Andy Beshear
The governor should be a public servant, who listens, brings people together and governs with compassion.
As governor, I'll keep fighting for policies that will actually put more money in the pockets of workers, make it easier for everyone to get health care, and improve our public schools.
While Matt Bevin helps insiders, wealthy CEOs and special interests, I'm running to be a governor who works for Kentucky families who are still struggling to get ahead.
Coal miners work hard and deserve our respect. They also deserve a governor who fights for policies that will give them a fair shot to support their families and get ahead. That's exactly what I'll deliver as governor.
As governor, I'll focus every day on delivering for working Kentuckians like teachers and first responders all across the commonwealth.
Instead of attacking and dividing our people, I'll be a governor who is fully committed to respecting the hard work of our families by fighting for good-paying jobs and expanding access to affordable health care.
As governor, I'll focus on these concrete steps to make it easier to vote and include every community in our democratic process.
Instead of fighting to make things better, Matt Bevin has used the governor's office to bully workers and help his cronies.
As governor, I will run an administration prioritizing veterans, and that means getting them actual results.
Kentuckians deserve a governor who will support affordable health care, a secure retirement, and respect the rights of workers like access to safe working conditions and wages that can support a family.
My comprehensive health care plan will lower costs, strengthen Medicaid, and codify protections for people with pre-existing conditions into state law. That will lift up all working families. But our veterans face unique challenges and they deserve a governor who will deliver them specific solutions to expand access and increase options.
As governor, I'll treat all Kentucky families with dignity and respect.
Instead of attacking and dividing our people, I'll be a governor laser-focused on creating opportunity for all Kentuckians. I'll expand growth industries like agritech and advanced manufacturing.
I'll be a governor who looks out for Kentucky families.
As governor, I'll treat hard-working families with the respect that they deserve by being laser-focused on creating good-paying jobs with benefits and secure retirements; and expanding access to affordable health care.
When I say I'm going to be a governor for all Kentuckians, I mean it.
I'm honored to receive the support of former Republican candidate for governor, William Woods.
As governor, I'll work to lower health care costs for all of us.
I'll be a governor that fights for Kentucky families.
It's hard running as an independent. I wouldn't have won the Senate election if I hadn't been governor. I had credibility. The hard part is getting voters to the point where they think it's thinkable and not a waste of time.
It turns out that all of the things I was looking for in a governor, Trump has even more. He has been vetted by the media; he has been attacked by the media his entire life and is perfectly comfortable in front of a gaggle of microphones.
I think everyone should read Governor William Bradford's diary.
When a governor asks you to come and serve... or a president, subsequently in my life - you do so.
When my sister and I came along, my father's political life was completely over. He ran for president the year I was born. So that was the end of it. He had been congressman first, then governor, before all that. So when we came along, he was running the Dayton newspaper.
Among other things they picked out a detail that Charles had been offered the Governorship of Hong Kong in its dying days by Thatcher in return for shutting up about the inner cities. He quite rightly in my view led the paper on this story.
I don't want to describe either Governor Mitt Romney or the Republicans as stupid, but I will say this - if you look at their platform, the 2012 platform, it looks like it's from another century and maybe even two. It looks like the platform of 1812.
The reason Gov. Romney passed Romneycare as governor of Massachusetts in 2006 was because many Republicans viewed health care reform, mandates and all, as a way to inoculate against Democratic charges that Republicans didn't care about people who lacked health insurance.
I thought I would be governor of Massachusetts. I stood on a pile of my old albums and said, 'I'm the only one with a record to stand on.'
And now, of course this is another thing I didn't count on, that now as the governor of the state of California, I am selling California worldwide. You see that? Selling.
The Democrats' ads convince me that Governor Romney can't sing, but his record convinces me he knows how to lead, and I think you know which skill we need more.
According to me when former governors join the political mainstream, the whole cause propagated for autonomy of the institutions, itself gets impacted. When they dwell into statements which are politically loaded, rather than during their tenure as a governor, it is far easier to analyse those statements.
As governor, my chief responsibility is to keep our state and people safe, which is why I have decided to oppose Arkansas being used as a relocation center for Syrian refugees.
