I don't think he wants to run out the clock. There are a lot of things left that he wants to do. He'll stay very active until the last minute.

It's anybody's guess right now whether he'll run again. I think running for governor again in the state of Florida is more likely than him running for president someday.

I don't think you'll see him in a wind-down mode. He's trying to milk every last second he can out of this administration to do things on his agenda.

I don't think there is any way in the world he's going back to the private sector and have no policy or public involvement. People have to understand he truly enjoys being a chief executive and being able to get things done.

When it comes to major issues on a statewide or national level, the Democrats in these small counties probably feel abandoned by the Democrat Party. These are folks who go to church on Sunday morning and have strong conservative values. The Democrats on the state and federal levels don't relate to that.

You know, the clock continues to tick. The negotiators, I think, have left things perilously late in light of the date of the summit, which was announced well in advance.
