Gravel. Helter Skelter. Genius.


A divergence from the 'rock' and the 'fire.'


Mike Gravel is a performance art genius.

2. Hey, I like Mike Gravel He's the most progressive candidate we have left
I haven't seen any ads from him. I wonder if he's broke and can't compete on a small level?

9. "We" don't have him any more...he's running as a Libertarian now.
I like his ideas, I just think he's too damned odd to ever be anything more than a fringe candidate.

He might be able to shake things up in a Cabinet position, though.

15. You say that, too, like it's a bad thing
Not sure why folks on DU take Kucinich seriously, but not Gravel. Seems irrational to me.

11. You say that like it's a bad thing.
I have to admit to a soft spot for people who run for office just to get their views out there. It's important.

13. I didn't necessarily mean it was a bad thing.
I just don't know if I would have donated $201.00 to his campaign if I'd known that from the start.

12. That's a good point, you know, I live in Texas, and
there's no way in HELL that Hillary will put this state in play.

Obama, quite possibly.

26. Recent article on Gravel's videos
"In the past you had showmen who became politicians. Now you have a politician who's kinda becoming a showman," said Jarvis, who blogs about the media and news for Buzzmachine.com
