Governor Bobby Jindal (R-LA) On NBC's "Meet The Press":

Gov. Bobby Jindal: "I think Senator McCain has again shown that he has the judgment, the experience we need during these uncertain times. Just as he was right to call for the surge in Iraq before it was popular, he had called, even last year, he had said we should look at excluding Russia from the G-8. He said he looked in Putin's eyes, he saw K-G-B very early on. He very forcefully understood that this was an attack on a democratic ally, this has regional implications, it has implications beyond Georgia's borders. One of the reasons I think we see folks at Brookings, Wall Street Journal, Washington Times, Georgetown, several experts, praising his response, including a former Clinton adviser. I think again what we've seen is Senator McCain's got the experience, the perspective, he was right on Iraq on the surge, he was right again calling attention to the dangers when Russia invaded a democratic ally."

Former Governor Mitt Romney (R-MA) On ABC's "This Week":

Gov. Mitt Romney: "Let's go back to this issue about what's needed right now in the country, is it judgment or experience? I frankly think that judgment comes from experience. I think people who are wise and have great judgment are people who have experienced the world and understand how the world works. So when, for instance, the Georgian crisis arose, John McCain had been there multiple times. He knew the President of Georgia. He had been to South Ossetia. He had been around the world time and time again. He knew the people of the world. While I don't look at these events that happened in the world and calculate their political implications, I do think that when the people of America are reminded of how dangerous the world is, they recognize the importance of selecting a person that has experience and judgment and wisdom, who has actually led at a critical time and can bring that to bear in the White House."

Governor Tim Pawlenty (R-MN) On CBS' "Face The Nation":

Gov. Tim Pawlenty: "Georgia, of course, has been a state that has been westward-looking, has been a friend of ours. We have indicated to them through cultural exchanges and other exchanges that we want to be supportive of them, but I haven't seen any evidence that the United States of America has overpromised. When you look at the reactions of the two candidates, Senator McCain and Senator Obama, Senator McCain came out saying, This really is bullying behavior by Russia against one of our friends, the state of Georgia.' Senator Obama's statement came out and essentially implied that we were going to equally blame our friend Georgia and Russia, and then he revised the statement two or three times. But again, it shows a lack of sure-footedness by Senator Obama, and I think Senator McCain, not just in this crisis, but even previously, saying, I saw Vladimir Putin and I saw in his eyes a K, a G and a B and he's a bully.' Who do you want sit ting across the table from somebody like Putin? You want Barack Obama or John McCain? I know the answer for me and a lot of Americans, most Americans, is going to be John McCain."

Former Governor Tom Ridge (R-PA) On Fox News' "Fox News Sunday":

Gov. Tom Ridge: "Well, at a time during this campaign where we we're looking at each candidate to see how consistent they are on very important positions, one consistent position that Senator Obama has is he likes taxes. He's going to tax income, Social Security, dividends, capital gains, even raise the estate tax, so there is a certain level of consistency there. He's voted for tax increases 94 times; John McCain has never voted for a tax increase. Now, what John has said, in order to create an innovative, 21st century job creation environment, you need to cut the corporate tax rate, you need to make the R&D tax credit permanent, you need to expand our markets overseas. It's a job creation approach that he's taking along with that all-in Lexington plan with energy -- let's deal with nuclear, let's deal with clean coal technology, let's deal with drilling offshore, and the energy arena itself with innovation will create hundred s of thousands of jobs, if we embrace his all-in approach."
