He was a key player in ending the draft. For that he is a true American hero.

I like Mike Gravel.  I'd never want to see him hold political office, but I like him.




Same...its like with Huckabee. I like Huck as a person, he seems like a cool guy....but id never elect him to an office...especially the office of the President. Same with Gravel.

That was 37 years ago, and he hasn't exactly achieved much of anything since then.  His only quality in this campaign are his ads, and the jury is still out on whether the humor of them was intentional or not.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Couldn't agree more, Mitty.  Have you read his book?  Wow.  Mostly letters from his father but still -- just -- wow.  The Dodds are great Americans.
