I've been interested in American politics since I was eight. That was in 1968. It was an interesting year. I was a huge Eugene McCarthy supporter, so I guess he was the first senator I really knew about and cared about.

I was very political when JFK ran.

I got into politics when I was eight years old.

I've had an interest in politics since I was a little kid.

I've always been involved in politics, since I was 8 or 9 years old. I sold Kool-Aid for McGovern - I could always pick a winner.

I always wanted to become president! When I was a kid, I was obsessed with politics.

I became a Republican in 1951, the first year I could vote.

Please don't ask me any questions about the politics of 30 years ago.

I was an Eisenhower Republican when I started out at 21 because he promised to get us out of the Korean War.

I entered politics in 1967; since then, continuously, I am getting elected... Fortunately I never lost the elections.
