PRESIDENT MIKE GRAVEL JOINS LIBERTARIAN PARTY: Former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel, who we still thought was running for the Democratic nomination for president, has joined the Libertarian Party and may run for president that way, too. Gravel is famous for throwing rocks, yelling at other candidates, and this fantastic rapping video he made. Gravel's exit helps clear the way for a unified Democratic party under Barack Obama, so maybe that Hillary Clinton galoot should get her act together and do the same. [The Trail]
convention coups
Just as Ron Paul will harness confusion at the Republican National Convention to convert supposedly “pledged” delegates to his uplifting cause, Hillary Clinton will do the same on the Democratic side. A senior Clinton adviser told Politico’s Roger Simon, the guy who looks a bit like Henry Waxman except without the insane nose, that if forced the Clinton campaign would pursue the votes of pledged delegates—those assigned based on the results of primaries and caucuses.

Clinton's Samoan Triumph
Forget about Barry winning Connecticut or Hillary taking California in yesterday’s primary vote. The real Super Tuesday miracle story happened many millions of miles to the west, in a remote island kingdom called American Samoa. Here “ordinary American Samoans” who will not actually be able to vote in November participated in a Democratic caucus of epic proportions. Clinton took home the prize with an astonishing 163 votes. Stealth candidate Mike Gravel got a vote, though! [AP via KITV]

colbert '08
Online betting site Bodog has been keeping odds on the 2008 presidential election and, according to them, have included Stephen Colbert since the outset. And now that Stephen Colbert has announced he will run in South Carolina — the details of which are still nebulous — the Bodog people have bumped his odds in “Who Will Win the 2008 Presidential Elections” from 800/1 to 600/1. Huzz…ah? How is he in 20th place still, behind the likes of Ralph Nader (125/1) and Duncan Hunter (100/1)? How was he behind someone named Jonathan “The Impaler” Sharkey (700/1) until yesterday, and how do the rest of us remain behind him? Who the fuck is Hillary Clinton (3/2)?
Oh and haha, Tom Tancredo and Mike Gravel have no odds whatsoever.

second life during wartime dept.
“Second Life” is this internet thing that is kind of like The Sims but with more furries and anonymous strangers purchasing huge virtual genitalia with which to virtually penetrate one another. Also it’s a hotbed of modern politics! All sorts of political types have forced interns to make them Second Life headquarters, all of which are monitored by sexy human-animal hybrids and occasionally “vandalized” by nerds. But one candidate is outrageous enough to have his staff do the vandalizing themselves. The only truly outside-the-beltway candidate, a Washington outsider who’s not afraid to go after the entrenched special interests. After the jump, a Very Special Look at Mike Gravel’s Second Life Adventure.

Jesus, 2008 is going to be brutal. For the record, Mike Gravel does have a face and he’s hardly the worst looking presidential candidate. Gravel sorta looks like Phil Jackson, which is a helluva lot better than looking like a crazed old squirrel with a mouth full of walnuts.
