Gravel believes he can win – even if nobody else does!

March
28

In an interview with RNN’s Karen DePodwin this week, a somewhat-surely Sen. Mike Gravel of Alaska, who recently abandoned the Democratic Party to run for president as a Libertarian, didn’t seem to understand why people would doubt he can win the election.

He also doesn’t seem to like that “Gotcha” stuff!!

See the video here.

One Response to “Gravel believes he can win – even if nobody else does!”

  1. the consultant

    while we are talking about the presidency…I am just
    watching the president addressing the mortgage crisis
    with his operation hope which provides counseling etc
    and you know, even though I know the president personally
    voted for him twice..he really doesn;t seem to get
    it..the crisis that the country faces is enormous
    if there were no fdic we would be in a depression
    with runs on banks like in 1932…there is only
    one answer and it is not the one that the president
    is giving…hope and counseling have nothing to do
    with this…ajdustible mortgages that were little
    understood by the borrowers of this nation are the
    problem..do you realize that only 27% of the nation
    has a high school diploma..yet the mortgage terms
    speak of libor rates, and treasury bill, and adjustment
    periods …those borrowers were and are clueless.but
    the lenders knew…they knew that a 3% mortgage with
    a payment of 600 a month would nearly double in 3 years
    and then double again if rates went up …
    the problem needs to be solved and unfortunately hillary
    is right..these adjustable mortgages have to be frozen
    and reformed to allow people to keep their homes
    banks don’t want the real estate…and we don’t want
    people thrown out of their homes at least i don’t
    because once that happens a whole new dynamic of economic
    chaos follows…I won;t bore you with the details but
    I have a degree in business and economics and it ain’t
    pretty…so I view this presidents position as the
    equivalent of doing nothing…just jawboning…and
    its not enough…by a longshot….bring back bob
    rubin..
