I like Gravel, but one person's idealist is another persons ideologue.
There's a place for folks like Gravel in the Senate, but I dont want him in the White House.
IMO, the country is too diverse politically for an idealist/ideologue. Things will only be better if the president is a consensus builder, something seriously lacking in our current leader and a leadership quality I dont see in Gravel either.
