Yes Mike is sticking with the LP. He is his own man though, so anyone expecting him to tow the party line of any party should expect otherwise.
Well, we don’t know about Barkley yet. Franken could have won.
Thanks Ross. That’s good news.

I’m watching it now and he said he voted for Obama there, and that Obama would make a better president than him, because he (paraphrasing) wouldn’t be able to govern effectively without direct democracy.
Here’s part two, which is more interesting:

Here’s a recent Gravel interview, for your viewing pleasure:

I mean, he’s still a member. He’s never been big on party politics, though. Right now he’s going around the world and the country promoting direct democracy and the national initiative (click my name). He’s endorsed a few LP-endorsed candidates who first endorsed his national initiative idea, though.
Good question.
Is Gravel sticking with the LP?
You can do both separately.
I will probably be there, and will report back. I have not yet decided if I will mention the Catholic Trotskyist ideology there, or if I will appear as my usual public self, a mainstream Democratic college student.
Everyone just calm the cripes down!
Lost me on that one too.
What do you mean?
Not doing any appearances, huh?
