While nearly all coverage of the 2008 Presidential election has focused on the Democratic and Republican candidates, there are small political parties offering candidates, and those who choose to run without a party behind them, independents.
Wikinews is interviewing some of these citizens who are looking to become the 43rd person elected to serve their nation from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW.
Our second interview is with Cincinnati, Ohio's Steve Kissing, a divorced father of two who is a creative director at an advertising agency.

Campaigning for the American presidency is one of the most expensive exercises in the world. How do you deal with the cost and fundraising?
Do you have a running mate yet? Who are they? What are you looking for in a running mate?
Can you win the 2008 Presidential election? Can any third party or independent candidate ever win?
If you can't make it into the Oval Office, who would you prefer seeing taking the presidency?
What should the American people keep in mind, when heading to the polls this November?
