Reaction: Former Senator Mike Gravel goes full-blown awesome at SC Debates

I must admit, I love the crazy ones. I have probably seen the Howard Dean "Scream" video fifty times and never once have I been able to comprehend why it ruined him politically. Politics should be a game of passion. So who is Mike Gravel? He's a former Democratic Senator from Alaska and one hell of a longshot for winning the Presidential nomination. However, his passion and straight forward talk about the War in Iraq is as refreshing as I've seen in a while. It's a shame that candidates like Gravel are seen as the crazy ones for speaking their mind with passion and conviction while the middle-of-the-road politicians who play it safe and flip-flop when it's convienent for them are considered the sane ones.
