Hate to burst your bubble, Flash... but Gravel is actually way too old, grumpy, extremist and crazy to be elected.
Also, did I mention he's crazy?
I'm sort of kidding--he's not crazy, but he is kind of a Democratic Ron Paul. He supports abolishing the IRS, and the institution of a national sales tax instead. To replace the lost revenue, he supports a punitive tax on petroleum--just two examples of his policies.
