so how many of you have a clean enough background and skeleton closet to run for office?

[BooGiMaN]

say your opponent dug into your past and habits, pivate life etc. to run a smear campaign how would you fare?


lol if they could dig into the usenet download records in my early years on the net, id look like soem kind of sexual perv from the amount and variety of porn i downloaded....like a kid in a candy store i tell ya!

other than that i think im fairly clean..i dont think my neighbors, coworkers or freinds would have any secrets about me to tell.

and if they dug through my trash nothing out of the normal, my credit is pretty good...

what about you guys?

 

[JDrake]

I'm clean.

 

[jimbob200521]

As long as my record doesn't contain every little thing the cops may or may not have been called for, I'm clean.

 

[Lola]

i have nothing... the worst is that i took a little toy when i was 3 years old because i thought it was free. My grandma found it and scared the poop out of me so i ran back and gave it to the store clerk sobbing.

Other than that, i have nothing... i guess i am a goody goody

Agreed. I'd probably be okay for a councilman or some other lower office, but potential exists for problems with larger campaigns.

 

[Acanthus]

I have nothin they could dig up

 

[everman]

Nothing to dig up, always burn the evidence

 

[Lonyo]

Hmm, illegal internet activity, but who doesn't?
A few suspensions from high school, and a few drugs every now and then (other than alcohol).
Apart from that, nothing much to dig up.

 

[chambersc]

i'm being very careful now since i plan to run for office later (hopefully presidency). i just have to worry about these posintg on anandtech ... i'll do something about it in a few years, though.

 

[minendo]

With how bad my record is and how dirty my past is, I'd easily get elected to Congress if not President.

 

[FoBoT]

i'd be as good/better than 98% of US Congressman, AFAYK

 

[Strk]

Nothing on official records....

 

[BeauJangles]

clean as a whistle

 

[Rastus]

I never killed anyone and I never stole anything. Other than that, anything you hear about me just might happen to be true.

 

[PingSpike]

Pffft...like it would matter if I didn't. Have you seen some of the morons that get elected? A rapist could probably get elected.

 

[EatSpam]

I'm not a religionist. That's the biggest "skeleton" of all.

 

[Dr. Detroit]

I went out and bought some 2x6"s this weekend as the closet is getting a bit overrun and needed to be held back before they all escaped.

Will definitely not be running for public office ever. No real crimes have been committed but a lot of morality issues...........

I couldn't get away with it.

I'll vote for ya...

 

[TBone48]

99 and 44/100% pure. But that .56% might sink me.

edited for unbelievable stupidity (thanx, DrPizza )

 

[Epic Fail]

Statistically speaking, isn't it bad to have a clean slate.

<------ Conjur for President '08.....free MP3 player for everyone!

 

[fitzov]

If they can't find something, they'll make it up.
