Do you think Mike Gravel still wonders why he's not the Democratic nominee for President?
I think in large part because Mike Gravel wasn't a frontrunner, he was willing to take chances ... Campaigns are so focused on staying on message and sticking to talking points and slogans, that very often the messages themselves begin to sound overly crafted and vetted. What Mike Gravel did ... was really exciting, he used sites like YouTube to reach an audience through word-of-mouth. Indeed, he's game to try unique ways to communicate a message.
Seating Michigan in full would mean the party validates the kind of one-candidate election (well, 1.03, to give Dennis Kucinich, Chris Dodd and Mike Gravel, who also remained on the ballot, their due) that is more common in autocracies than democracies.
