The most important thing you need to make one of those incubator/accelerator type projects work is to have some people who understand how to do it and want to do it in a particular place.

I think it's important for people to believe their elections are on the up and up and they aren't being tampered with by anyone, and in this particular instance there's a large body of evidence that at a minimum Russia tried to tamper with our election.

Mitt Romney said many years ago that he thought Russia was the single biggest geopolitical threat to the United States and their presence in a variety of conflicts of one type or another have borne out much of what Mitt Romney said.

I don't like it necessarily when other people speak for me.

I don't think any Patriots fan would want anything other than for Tom Brady to stay.

Tom Brady has given a tremendous amount of happiness joy and amazement to people all over New England and to fans outside New England as well.

Massachusetts is a global community.

We all benefit from the shared experiences of our partners from around the world. Our education, health care, business and public sector institutions rely on these relationships to deliver on their missions every single day.

Look, there's no place and no point in public life, in any life, for a lot of the things Scott Lively says and believes.

Look I can't get into the minds of people who made decisions to support us or support anybody else. But I can tell you that Scott Lively, a lot of what he says and a lot of what he believes doesn't belong in public discourse.

Former Gov. Weld is that kind of guy who you can't predict what his next move will be.

Do I miss Harvard? Not for a second. With a few exceptions... those four years are ones I would rather forget.

I saw 'The Sting' about 35 times and 'Jeremiah Johnson' and 'Billy Jack' about 50 times.

I've said a thousand times I want every community to be a place where people believe tomorrow is going to be better than today. I say that not just because I believe it, but because I believe in it.

There are exceptional schools in many of our most disadvantaged neighborhoods throughout the Commonwealth. Proving they can get it done for kids, no matter what their circumstances.

Across Massachusetts, there are many talented and inspiring educators doing for their students what their predecessors did for me.

I'm a proud product of the Massachusetts public schools.

We believe it is essential to establish federal emission reduction targets that can vary by state or region with policy flexibility for states to design solutions that work for their unique circumstances. Such targets would level the playing field and send a clear signal to business and industry as we transition to a clean energy economy.

Sometimes when something doesn't go the way it should go, everyone blames the concept. Sometimes we screw up the way we implement it.

Our communities are strong because local leaders and active citizens listen and learn from the people they serve.

Our Founders worried a lot about the tyranny of the majority. They designed our form of government to provide a loud voice for minority points of view. They hated the idea of unilateral power. And wanted to force advocates and policy makers, through structure and process, to compromise.

A strong Commonwealth is built on a foundation of strong communities. Friendly, welcoming, bustling neighborhoods and downtowns. Great schools. Safe, accessible, attractive places to play. Growing local economies. And a belief that anything is possible.

We live in a great state filled with creative, community minded, hard-working, decent people. And what they want from us is opportunity, possibility and hope.

The most heart-wrenching responsibility I have as Governor is to meet a family at the airport as they stand silently waiting for the military casket of their loved one to come home.

Whether it's the grind of the day to day, or a crisis, we all need to work together because that's what great public service is all about.

I'm obviously a huge Bill Weld fan.

Anybody is beatable.

Learning how to communicate to big audiences, and how to frame a message in a way that works in a sound-bite world, that for me is very challenging.

I think our Republican brand is an effective one and I think it fits and works here in Massachusetts.
