This was a harder question to answer than I thought it would be. I don't know many people who have even heard of Chuck Baldwin. He is running for President. He is the candidate for the Constitution Party. I had never even heard of the Constitution Party. This took a little bit more work on my part than the earlier candidates I covered in this series.

Charles "Chuck" Baldwin was born in La Porte, Indiana on May 3, 1952 to Mr. & Mrs. Edwin J. Baldwin. He graduated from high school in La Porte in 1971, and then attended Midwest Baptist College for two years. He was married in 1973. He enrolled in the Thomas Road Bible Institute and graduated with a Bible diploma. He went on to receive a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in theology from Christian Bible College in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. He has also receive two honorary doctor of divinity degrees from Christian Bible College and Trinity Baptist College in Jacksonville, Florida.

He is a founder and pastor of the Crossroad Baptist Church in Pensacola, Florida. In the early 80's, he worked in the Florida Moral Majority, to carry the state for the Reagan-Bush electors. He makes claims that he helped some 50,000 Christian voters register for that election. He left the Republican Party, siting that the George W. Bush-Dick Cheney ticket was too liberal.

He has spoke out publicly about what he views as further and further liberal leanings in the Republican Party, and endorsed the candidacy of Ron Paul during the primaries. He is also a radio talk show host where he moderates an hour-long, call in radio show focusing on conservative issues affecting those in the Florida panhandle. He is also an author, and a newspaper and Internet columnist.

Chuck Baldwin's running mate is Darrell Castle.
