Mike Gravel is in the wrong party:

From Mike Gravel to teens: Say 'yes' to drugs (7 Jan)

NASHUA, N.H.—Former Sen. Mike Gravel of Alaska hasn't been heard from for quite some time in his quixotic quest for the Democratic presidential nomination ...

... Gravel on Sunday night appeared at Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter to speak to its high school students and showed no sign his campaign had gone up in smoke. Indeed, in a contest of booze versus pot, Gravel said light 'em up.

"I'm sure a lot of you have tripped out on alcohol," Gravel told the students. "It's a lot safer to do it on marijuana."

Shouldn't he be in the Green Party?

This is why the turnout of college students was less-than-expected in New Hampshire, resulting in a smaller turnout for Obama. It was less get-out-and-vote, and more light-up-and-toke. Hillary's "tears" had nothing to do with it.
