Bay Area Musician and activist Old Hacks documented his vote for Mike Gravel.
"I unlike most people in this country did NOT throw my vote away. I actually voted for the guy most qualified for the job.
87 percent of this country want to end the war in Iraq. Well then why aren't 87 percent of Americans voting for the one guy thats told us how we can do that?"

I did too, but didn't make a video about it.

2. I will too, but it won't count.
Gravel isn't on the ballot in Ohio, nor is he an approved write-in candidate.

I'll write him in, but it won't even be counted.


Better than not participating or whoring my vote to the annointed electable one.

3. I wish Gravel had been taken seriously.
I agree with most of his positions. He has honesty and integrity.

It's unfortunate that the best of our politicians, the most honest, the ones who actually see a possibility for a better future and the means to accomplish it, get so marginalized by both the press and the party.

As much as I like Gravel, I never seriously considered voting for him. I admire you for the courage of your convictions.
