Mike Gravel ASKS to debate Ron Paul SOLO for an hour!!!

This was sooooo 10,000 years ago and discussed and posted about ad nauseum
 
Here's how that goes.

Gravel: "Drugs aren't dangerous"
Paul: "I agree. The war on drugs is a sham!"
Gravel: *lights one up, passes*
-debate over-
 
september! what a sham! i was hoping for some airtime...

mods can remove this thread at will
 
title slightly misleading - he's talking more about having a dialog than a debate. like, a positive discussion about the future of the country.
 
Where would it be aired, Public Access Channel? Right after Wayne's World? I fear the MSM wouldn't give it the time of day.
 
Gravel did it for attention. This would be worse than Howard Dean's scream if it happened.

Don't get me wrong, I love Gravel. But I hate this idea.
 
One basic rule of politics is you don't debate down because you have nothing to gain and potentially a lot to lose (not that I think Gravel would outclass Paul; I'm just saying it's the general rule). Even most people who are paying close attention probably don't even know that Gravel is still in the race. And the media tried to portray it last year like he and Ron had an equal chance to win -- zero. So why reinforce that perception? Paul and Gravel are in different universes at this point in terms of being viable.
 
older than rocks. besides the "get together" was scheduled just a short time ago, but from what I recall, Gravel had to cancel his appearance due to a flu or something like that.
 
yeah, Gravel is still in the race, but he's spending most of his time on college campuses begging for cash... airing his one man debates on his website
 
I like Gravel, but if we go anywhere near him, they will say we are at his level.
 
What do you mean get the word out? Anyone who thinks Ron Paul would benefit from such a debate shouldn't have thread starting capabilities...
