funny, but I wouldn't be shocked if he did. I wonder who the LP is going to be up with this year, I'm not really privy to the details of what's going on with them...I was one of five people in my county who voted for Badnarik Cheesy

Wasn't he in the Green Party last week? I think the next step is for him to shave his head and "accidentally" release a sex tape.

I'll vote for Gravel without hesitation. Him and Dennis were the only candidates I liked on either side.

Hmm... the plot thickens. Fmr. Rep. Bob Barr who joined the LNC in 2006 chimes in:

Gravel/Barr? Barr/Gravel?

Someone associated with the Gravel campaign now also says that he's interested in pursuing a fusion Libertarian and Green Party run

My thoughts exactly. When I first heard the news, I actually didn't believe it.

No he was just endorsing a candidate for the Green Party presidential nomination.  I bet that will come back to bite him if he wins the Democratic nomination.

Allegedly though that endorsement was just to piss off Nader who had done something vaguely offensive to Gravel a few weeks ago.

An e-mail sent out today (emphasis mine):

So the Democrats have given up on the ways of FDR which he believes in so dearly... so he logically joins the Libertarians?

FDR = Libertarian Party?

Get this man some pills!

Wasn't this guy the second choice for the nomination for BRTD and one of the D-NY clowns?  A Green party endorsement and now a defection to the Libertarians?  Way to go, guys.

Makes sense only if he also runs for the nom. As to the Green endorsement, well that guy (what was his name, Johnson? I forget) has no chance anyways.

I can't really see a Gravel/Barr ticket. It's not as if they share many issue positions. Of course, I suppose that was thrown out as a joke anyways.

I continue to support Mike Gravel for the Presidency of the United States.

Er... didn't FDR in many ways create the military industrial complex? He, at the very least, definitely oversaw the creation of it.

It would make him more relevant than now.  Maybe he can dye his skin blue like the Libertarian in Montana who tipped control of the Senate.

Hahaha. I'm so glad Gravel is still in the race, he makes such great entertainment.

If he doesn't win the presidency he should secede individually from the Union.

The second choice for the nomination out of him, Obama and Hillary.

It's much like a choice between going to a keg party, a college class, or getting shot in the head. The college class is obviously my second choice, but that says little about anything except the third.

Oh yeah, I'd actually forgotten about you.  No offense.

In a McCain/Clinton/Barr race, I'd almost certainly vote for Barr, so long as Gravel's nowhere near the ticket.
