We all try during the Presidential campaigns, primaries, and debates to get to know all the candidates as well as we can. We want to learn where they stand on the major issues affecting Americans and how in their years in office it will relate to a better life for us personally and of course for all the citizens of our country. While we may always see where each candidate stands on the issues and determine who we are closest to in our own beliefs. We must also consider other things about the candidates and one of the major considerations is character. We always want to choose someone who we believe has good moral character and want do anything we wouldn't do while in office. We may when reviewing the candidates look at their present and certainly their past to see If they have any skeletons, so to speak, hidden in the closet. By this I mean have they done things in their life or in their public service that they may not want to be that well known. Time to do some digging and see just who has what skeleton hidden in their closet.

Very informative. More of us should do our due diligence regarding such an important decision. I've been doing a series on the presidential candidates for AC. I've started with some of the lesser known and it has been fascinating. Check out my CP page if you're interested.

So what's Dennis Kucinich's skeleton (besides the fact that he's the skinniest candidate)? He's the guy I'm voting for.
