Our Issue Tuesdays series continues with a look at the role of leadership and character in this year's elections. In both the gubernatorial and presidential races, the candidates have exchanged attacks over who's stronger, tougher, more honest and more in tune with the needs of the people of New Hampshire and the country. We'll ask how the candidates are trying to portray themselves as the right man to lead and what they're doing to paint their opponent as weak. Laura's guests are John Milne, NHPR political correspondent and Barbara Kellerman, research director of the Center for Public Leadership and lecturer at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. Kellerman is also the author of "Bad Leadership: What it is, How it Happens, Why it Matters". We will also hear from Andy Smith, director of the UNH Survey Center.
