Vote Mike Gravel!
Because at this point, he has as every bit as much of a chance as Hillary at securing the nomination in a fair, even-handed manner, and is a damned sight more liberal to boot!

:rofl:

2. On the ballot in NC
He's been my only choice since day 1
Too bad he got silenced after the first debate

3. Oddly enough, he was my first choice too.
As much as I love Kucinich, I knew that the media would savage him, and they did.

Gravel got torn down too, much to my dismay.

But hey, if you're going to piss a vote away at this stage in the game, you might as well vote for a real liberal like Gravel, rather than throw your lot in with a rightist like Her Royal Clintonness, no?

:)

4. Gravel's debate analysis were great
He got run out of the Senate after introducing the Pentagon Papers
into the public record and is no friend of the system.

5. Gravel "...is no friend of the system."
Which is why he would have made a great POTUS.

But since we're down to but ONE viable choice...

You see where this is going.

6. Entertaining video from Democracy Now...
if you haven't seen it. Alot of humor. Especially when he explains being set up with a colostomy bag so he can filibuster -- clever!
