The fascinating and the just plain weird
Like many of us, I am always wondering who is going to be the next Ross Perot. Might one of the also-rans in either party break off and make a run for it? Would it be someone sufficiently quirky to live up to the Perot legacy? For this reason, Ron Paul, Texas congressman and sometime Libertarian party presidential candidate, sort of fascinates me. He has some serious word-of-mouth support-building going on right now, to judge by the huge number of random people who call in to C-SPAN or comment on blogs in favor of his presidential candidacy. He was one of 2 Republicans to vote in favor of de-funding the Office of the Vice President.
But he does not fascinate me nearly as much as Mike Gravel.

Momma always said, if you don't have anything nice to say, say something surreal.
I'll be voting for Ron or Libertarian, myself.
Yeah, Congressman Paul also fascinates me a great deal. I'm largely with him on the domestic stuff, but have mixed feelings on his foreign policy. If he doesn't flip his lid like Perot and Dean did, he could sharply splinter the conservative base. BTW his interview with Colbert, on Youtube, is a hoot.
As for Mike Gravel... he's sure good at throwing rocks into lakes.
