Looks Like Keith made a Boo boo....And a Cheer from the Gravel Crowd!!!

Olbermann goofs on Gravel…
Apparently Keith Olbermann said last night that Mike Gravel had dropped out of the race. Well that was apparently news to Gravel and like any candidate who doesn’t get a lot of press, he’s going to milk it…

Once again, the Mainstream Media has not gotten the facts straight.

MSNBC pundit Keith Olbermann has incorrectly declared that Sen. Gravel has dropped out of the race following the January third caucus in Iowa. This is not true, and Sen. Gravel is still an active member in this race. We are requesting that MSNBC and Keith Olbermann retract their statement, and issue an apology to the campaign for promoting blatantly false misinformation.

Again, Sen. Gravel has not dissolved his campaign, and has no intentions of doing so.


----

Really though, if Gravel wants to rail against Olbermann for being more of the same MSM, I think he is greatly uninformed.

1. I'd feel bad for Gravel if he were a Democrat
Rality is, he's just a Libertarian piggy-backing on the Democratic party.

3. Left wing libertarian same as Kucinich.


So if he is piggy-backing, so is DK. That's the kind of piggy-backing that we need to stop the trend toward fascism in our country.

Of course you know who else lurks down in the third quadrant? Virtually all of DU. :)

Also, notice that Edwards is closest to Kucinich in the chart and Obama the furthest away. So why did Kucinich throw his support to Obama?

4. Something's wrong with that graph
Because I'm very close to DK's platform but miles from Gravel.

2. Keith
My guess Keith is pretty damn smart, probably around 160 IQ. Mike better be pretty sure before he goes up against him.

Keith is MSM now??? Who knew!

-90% Jimmy

5. Oh well, then. I guess this proves Keith is stupid and useless.
For crying out loud. He made a mistake. He will no doubt correct it tonight. Jeez!
