Every debate I've seen Gravel is attacking Obama. He seems to be attacking him more than Limbaough, makes you think. So glad Malloy had him on his show to expose how empty Gravel's platform is. By all rights it should be Kucinich for the primary but Barack came across fairly well yesterday.

3. He's an equal-opportunity attacker. |
|
He was attacking pretty much the entire stage during the CNN/YouTube debate, but particularly vehement toward Edwards, Clinton, and Obama. I certainly don't think he was singling Obama out.

6. Apologies only watching it as I type, haven't got to the part where he criticises other candidates. |

11. He does a lot of finger-pointing later in the debate. |
|
He also uses a lot of his time to complain that he's not getting any time. :)
(In fairness, he doesn't get a lot of time, but that's due in part to most of the questions being directed to other candidates.)

4. While he occasionally makes good points in debates, he walks to the beat |

5. I do admire Gravel for filibustering, all by himself, for 5 months, to end the DRAFT. |
|
when he was a Congress Critter.:)

9. I'd never take that part away from him, shame about his current policies though... |
|
... Gravel came across very badly on the Malloy show, shame really he had a flying start.

You gotta admit, he is damn good entertainment. I agree with some of his position, I just know realistically he won't ever get nominated.

8. I kinda like his righteous anger! |
|
and in my humble opinion , there is plenty to be righteously angry about.
I agree however that his is toward the wrong targets.

10. I think his attacks are on point, personally. |
|
I will be voting for Kucinich in my primary, but I applaud Gravel's presence, his participation, and his record.
