Former Alaska Sen. and 2008 presidential candidate Mike Gravel predicted in an interview that Sarah Palin will run for president and "she's going to surprise a lot of people."
Gravel, a Democrat, called Palin's politics "terrible."
"But that doesn't detract from the fact that she's a very talented person," he said.
The former senator even allowed that Palin was more authentically Alaskan than he was because she liked to hunt and fish, neither of which he cares for.

If they are terrible to a dem, they must be good.

How can someone live in Alaska and not enjoy hunting or fishing? Weirdo.

I actually find Gravel refreshingly honest for a lefty, and not just on this issue.

I think certain aesthetically challenged females may live there in order to ... oh does that count as hunting?

"Gravel, a Democrat, called Palin's politics "terrible."
TRANSLATION: "She is not politically correct enough to suit us leftist elites."
"But that doesn't detract from the fact that she's a very talented person," he said.
TRANSLATION: "She scares the bejesus out of the left."

Oh yeah. I shook her hand about an hour ago. I may never wash it again. LOL!
Sarah's the goods. I met her and Todd and chatted briefly with a delightful gentleman who turned out to be her Dad. I'm very impressed. This isn't politics as usual. No wonder they're scared spitless of her in DC.

Heh-heh, just playing with ya. Yes, the answer is not even a contest at this point;
I wouldn't be able to discern Mr. Gavel's appearance from that of Mr. HarryReid at this moment in AMerican history..

“Gravel... was a passionate advocate of direct democracy and the National Initiative. In 2006, Gravel began a run for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States to promote those ideas. His campaign gained an Internet following and national attention due to forceful, humorous and politically unorthodox debate appearances during 2007, but showed very little support in national polls or in 2008 caucuses and primaries. In March 2008, he announced he was switching to the Libertarian Party to compete for its presidential nomination and the inclusion of the National Initiative into the Libertarian Platform. At the May 2008 Libertarian National Convention he failed on both counts and announced his political electoral career had ended.”

Good for you! That’s great. If you’ve read her book, her dad was her coach in a lot of school sports, and also took the kids out in the wild to hunt and see nature. She seems to have a great family on both sides, and a ton of great friends.

Gravel is one of the most dishonest former politician I know. He has lost numerous court case and is proved dishonest. Additionally I know of several outstanding judgments against him and he claims he can not pay. He is a proved liar to the man in the black robe. This site would be better off if any reference to him was banned. Perhaps some day I will tell you exactly what I think of him.
