There isn't much new in Gravel's campaign. He is being compared to Ralph Nader because of his stubbornness in staying on the Democratic ballot, but even being the third candidate doesn't mean any more votes are being shepherded towards him - he has zero delegates, to be exact. Actually, searching for Mike Gravel in news articles unfortunately brings up some articles about... gravel. Yes, the gravel you find in asphalt. Or, perhaps referencing a race track? A positive note: Gravel got 1 vote of 1992 registered Democratic votes in Malibu.
On another note, beliefnet.com rated Mike Gravel's "spiritual rating" (0 is secular; 10 is theocrat) to be a 4. In comparison, Bill Richardson and Mike Huckabee each pulled an 8
and Thompson got a 3.
Bloggers are noting in amazement how the media is thoroughly ignoring Mike Gravel's (often radical) statements about war and the Constitution and rights. While they "...may have suggested Dennis Kucinich was a space alien,...they didn't let on Gravel ever existed."
