Nobody wants him to resign and I don't think he will. He understands this is a question of the national interest.

Negative pre-announcements are outpacing positive ones by a three-to-one margin -- and that's very high, ... The big question is whether the market can look through that. We expect consumer confidence will increase and business confidence will start to turn up as well.

Now the next question is, Can we get justice in Pennsylvania? I'm hoping that there's a little kernel of integrity left in the courts whereby we can. But the people, 12 million people, will be watching.

Now the question becomes, who is going to get something done? Who is going to achieve results? All right, now everybody wants to get it done. Who are we going to bet on to actually get it done? And that's where we say look at the past 20 years, who actually delivers.

Obviously he's a load. There's no question about that. He's way beyond his years in maturity. You watch him and you watch his body language and his facial expressions and you can tell the confidence that he plays with. But the thing that amazes me is his team has so much confidence in him.

Obviously, I am extremely disappointed. We came out flat, we came out effortless and we came out with no energy. I thought we would've had a better effort because we really needed a win. At this point I have to question the character of the players.
