Vote for Gravel if you don't like Hillbama.
He's still in the race.
He's still on the ballot in the blue states (see below).

12. true
Lee Mercer Jr's commercials being non-existent, I guess Gravel gets it. My apologies for having doubted.

37. One of the most outstanding political ads I have ever seen! This
single ad is enough reason for me to vote for Mike! I am a Gravel man!

13. Thanks. I'll do that. And, he's easier to spell than Kucinich.
Oh, you meant in the primary. Alas, we don't have one in my state.

14. Karma is catching up to Mike Gravel
He unseated Ernest Gruening, one of the two senators to vote against the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, by campaigning about how Gruening was too old to continue serving in the Senate.

Now everyone dismisses him as a senile old man.

Payback is a bitch

I am an Edwards supporter.

Don't make assumptions. It was a joke.

35. That's great. So was I. Before that a Kucinich supporter.
Voting for Gravel is still better than voting for the Corporate approved candidates.

22. I'll support him as my first choice at the caucus!
At least he strongly opposes the war in Iraq and opposes another illegal war against Iran: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3gQfz8GC0o

31. He's still in favor of the unFair Tax
No thanks. If I'm going to "waste" my vote on someone I know won't win, I'd rather it be someone to the left of Eisenhower. :)

34. I do not agree with Gravel on that either...
And I do not think that his "direct democracy" idea would work either.

However, he is the only candidate who strongly opposes war with Iran and supports an immediate withdrawal from Iraq. That to me is the most important issue. He also supports universal health care. That is why I'll be supporting him at my state's caucus.
