Gravel Vs. A Captive Audience

No joke. They really were captive. No, not like "Gitmo" captive, but Mike Gravel certainly got the time to speak that he felt was lacking at the other Democratic candidate debates.

I just cannot believe that the other Democratic candidates (Clinton, Obama Richardson and Dodd) simply didn't show up for the debate at Johns Hopkins. This was to be a debate specifically dedicated to the war in Iraq - and more specifically, how to get out. I mean, c'mon folks! Gravel made it. Kucinich and Biden were late (because of voting taking place in the House and Senate respectively), but at least they got there.

I guess if there is not corporate sponsorship and a nationally televised audience, then candidates aren't interested in debating (arguably) the most important topic for the 2008 election: Iraq.

Shout out to Lionus.
