Meet your Vice President: Harleys, Hogs And Presidential Hopefuls Gather At Iowa Political Fair BOONE, Iowa — Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst’s campaign ads drew national attention last year, focusing on her experience castrating hogs and growing up on a farm, with the promise that she isn’t afraid to “make ‘em squeal” in Washington, D.C. This weekend, she capitalized on her hog-fueled fame by gathering a slew of GOP presidential candidates for her first annual Roast and Ride. Ernst’s political fundraiser featured two separate elements: a motorcycle ride from Big Barn Harley-Davidson in Des Moines to the Central Iowa Expo in Boone and a pig roast, where seven presidential contenders were given exactly eight minutes to speak before a crowd of nearly 1,500 Republican activists. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker hasn’t said he’s running for president, but he was the only likely candidate who rode alongside Ernst on a Harley Davidson the 39 miles from Des Moines to Boone. “I love a senator who knows how to castrate a pig, ride a hog and cut the pork from Washington,” Walker said. huffingtonpost.com]
