Gravel is still in the Race!
gravel2008.us — Once again, the Mainstream Media has not gotten the facts straight.MSNBC pundit Keith Olbermann has incorrectly declared that Sen. Gravel has dropped out of the race following the January third caucus in Iowa. This is not true, and Sen. Gravel is still an active member in this race. We are requesting that MSNBC issue a retraction.

- uptown, on 01/04/2008, -4/+6Maybe you missed some recent poll numbers. That's not even close to being true.....
- martinjd, on 01/04/2008, -2/+5Speak for yourself...
- LeadOffMan, on 01/04/2008, -6/+3all two of you
- Jareth86, on 01/04/2008, -2/+15I thought it sounded a little uncharacteristic of Mike to drop out so easily, especially considering he's not running to win, he's running to raise issues that the other candidates won't talk about.
- keithburgun, on 01/07/2008, -0/+1actually he is running to win.
- kyeot, on 01/04/2008, -5/+13Glad you caught this garbage spewing from MSNBC. Gravel for President!!!
- perrrfection, on 01/04/2008, -2/+12I couldn't believe it when Olbermann said it! BUT I still think Olbermann is an all right dude he just f-ed up don't we all? I love Mike Gravel by the way...
- seventyone, on 01/04/2008, -1/+9Well to Olbermann's defense, he was just at the anchor desk and the producers were probably feeding him the info through his ear. This is just my speculation, but I don't think that Keith did the reporting on the that. I think someone at MSNBC really f-ed up. But if he did make a mistake he should say he messed up.
- LeadOffMan, on 01/04/2008, -7/+6Olberman is an all right dude? you're kidding right?
- fractalman, on 01/04/2008, -1/+5I've been watching Keith for quite a while now. If he screwed up, he'll make it right. He's the only anchor that I've seen admit when he was wrong.
- DrLZRDMN, on 01/04/2008, -1/+4Have you gotten any retractions yet?
- seventyone, on 01/04/2008, -0/+1I've been personally watching on and off, and thus far I've only seen them just stop reporting that Sen. Gravel had dropped out, but no official retraction yet, unless I missed it.
- seventyone, on 01/04/2008, -0/+5Another media outlet spewing this false info: http://www.thestate.com/local/story/274674.html (near the bottom).
- brian1127, on 01/04/2008, -3/+18Go Mike!!! We need your voice to be heard!
- NeoRicen, on 01/04/2008, -3/+3I don't think it really matters unfortunately.
- keithburgun, on 01/07/2008, -0/+1your idiot mind doesnt matter. have fun with your crap president that NO ONE really wants
- THEROC, on 01/04/2008, -2/+5Good for him. The Mainstream media has never given gravel a fair chance, but he did put the little attention that his campaign received to good use and spread truth about the political system and the establishment candidates who abuse it. I hope he and his supporters continue to talk sense to the disciples of John Clintama, who are ignorant of the fact that their candidate is completely bought and paid for.
RP08 - UtubReptilian, on 01/04/2008, -2/+4C'mon Mike, leak the info about Osama bin Laden's death confirmed by Buttho on International TV station. So, if you get lucky enough to get interviewed once more you can show following Buttho's video and shock the world! http://digg.com/politics/Benazir_Buttho_Confirmed_ ...
- AtHomeBoy2000, on 01/04/2008, -0/+1wait, huh?
- LeadOffMan, on 01/04/2008, -6/+1WHY?
- prisoner1, on 01/05/2008, -0/+1Because I want a pacifist for president
- FarhadA, on 01/04/2008, -3/+14I am amazed that Mr. Gravel has been hidden by the US and the world media. today was the first day I read about him, and to be honest, I find him and Kuchinic the only ones worth voting for, but they both are being sidestepped by their own party and the main stream media as well as almost all international news agencies.
- diskit, on 01/04/2008, -4/+2Mike Gravel's still in the race? Good for him.
Well, which state is next? New Hampshire?
Good luck with that, Gravel's "Fair Tax" plan of a national sales tax will only cause him to lose that state too.- keithburgun, on 01/07/2008, -0/+3Gravel loses = You lose, cocky jerkass
- dball48, on 01/04/2008, -0/+8Reminds me of when Olbermann said that all of the republican candidates were for the war in Iraq. He never apologized for that lie either.
- notyourslave, on 01/05/2008, -8/+0Ron Paul NEEDS 1,191 (a majority) of 2,380 DELEGATES to WIN

A delegate is essentially a super-voter; They get to vote for the GOP nominee. Regular voters will be voting to determine the delegates in your state Primary (or caucus); Regular voters can't vote for the GOP nominee. Remember, our system of government is a republic and not a democracy

- perot9296, on 01/06/2008, -0/+5MSNBC is so damn crooked, "oh we checked the source and thought it too be good". I wish someone would cancel Dodd, Biden, Edwards, Obamas and Clintons campaigns, they are a damn joke.
GIVE EM HELL, MIKE GRAVEL! - fee526, on 01/13/2008, -0/+1Senator Gravel,
If you read this. Please feel free to contact me. I would love to help in any way. Not just specifically with your campaign, but with the campaign against this evil and corrupt force enveloping the nation/world. I support Ron Paul as well, mainly because he has a HUGE following, especially from here in Michigan. Yet sadly, he'll lose because the Diebold machines will choose Huckabee.
I think in order to be truly for the movement, you should not just think about your campaign in specific, but rather think about this whole effort as a collective idea. Use the power Paul has garnered for yourself and contribute to the movement in return. I was 100% for Gravel until the media was so absolutely against you it seemed futile. I feel your passion and frustration during your speeches. I can completely understand your perspective, as can many others. Please take whatever money you have and advertise quickly and simply who you are. ANTI-WAR. ANTI-CORRUPTION. ANTI-FASCISM. ANTI-EMPIRE. ANTI-EVIL. Talk to Paul, do whatever you can! If I can help in any way, please let me know! I've got a high IQ and can be creative sometimes.
