What was your favorite thing to do growing up?

Probably livin’ on a farm and raising animals and saying, “Hey you have a pet dog, I have a pet cow.” [Laughing]. I had pet pigs and stuff like that. I had a cow named Cupid. He was born on Valentine’s Day and I showed him as a bucket calf at 4H and then as a steer, like 1300 pounds. He was just tame. Then I had another one that was so tame I could sit on his head and he could lift you up. Thing was when you got up there he wouldn’t bring you down.

Do you think this year’s election is different than other years?

Kinda, I’m gonna vote McCain I know that.  I really didn’t like how Obama was like… well I heard he wouldn’t stand up and do the Pledge of Allegiance and I think to be American you’ve got to do the Pledge of Allegiance. And I just didn’t like that whole thing.
