Political Science, and a minor in
Computer Science. You were married to your collage sweetheart and you have 2.3 kids, a dog named Jake, and loving neighborhood who have already agreed to give you the support needed, to get elected...
Then all of sudden your world comes crashing down, all around you!!!
Someone who does not like your political views does some research on you and finds a video that was taken at a high school bash at a friends house, while you were trashed on some heavy drinking and parting for a few hours and your buddies challenge you to
