Mike Gravel???
Looking here I noticed that there was a guy called Mike Gravel still in this race.
So really my questions are as follows: Who is he? Why is he still running? What does he hope to achieve by still running? Is he the Democrats version of Ron Paul? |

I don't know where he stands politically, but he had the greatest political ad ever!

Gravel is quite a character, I posted a thread about him a few weeks ago with a video in which he goes nuts over Obama and the DNC establishment.

He was a senator from Alaska from 1969-1981. He's been supported by some of the 9-11 "Truthers", most notably Justin Martell, the founder of Student Scholars for 9-11 Truth. He's still apparently in the race, but getting only a couple hundred votes.
That is quite an ad, Lisa. |
