Some Republican governors said they would refuse stimulus aid that required their states to expand unemployment insurance. "If Republican governors do not want this money," said Nathan Daschle, executive director of the Democratic Governors Association," Democratic governors will put it to good use."

"We need to uptick our image with everyone," he said, "including one-armed midgets."
