"This is a race we must win. The balance of power in the Senate is determined by electing a conservative as our next Lt. Governor, as is control of the legislature as a whole. We cannot afford to nominate an unproven candidate. We must choose substantive accomplishment over show, and a solid conservative record over rhetoric."

"It is crucial to nominate a Lt. Governor candidate who stands in contrast with them. One who has adhered faithfully to the principles of limited government, free enterprise, competitive markets, and individual liberty - and can demonstrate it through his record.

You should know me as that candidate."
