Rob Kall (our esteemed publisher) might join the show. I just got an e-mail from Senator Gravel's campaign manager and it seems like the interview is on. We still must come up with a time. The Superbowl is on tonight but don't worry, you can get the podcast right here on OpEdNews.com.
If you have any questions for Mike, I'll try to fit them in. I can't promise because I don't know how long I'll have. I've asked for two hours. If you want to listen live, the site is:
Hope to see you in the chatroom where you an write your comments and questions. Is this Democracy or what?

Tim was banned from the site for posting private email from the publisher to him on his blog, and then attacking the publisher and the site in emails and articles. OEN has no responsibility to publish articles from people who attack the site.
Tim's accusations that he was banned for his political positions are untrue. Check his articles. He repetitively wrote about and had published exactly the things he claimed he was banned for doing.
Former Chairman of the Liberal Party of America, Tim is a retired Army Sergeant. He currently lives in South Carolina. A regular contributor to OpEdNews, he is the author of Kimchee Kronicles and is currently at work on a new novel.
I listened to the Super Bowl Pregame Show for This
Mr. Gatto gave the best argument but it's because I've made his argument several times now.
To Rob---if you read this---what about the voters that were disenfranchised in Florida? You say if people hadn't voted for Nader, than Gore would have won. But...What about the so-called convicted felons and the voter disenfranchismeent that occurred?
And then in 2004...what about John Kerry who probably won Ohio? It took Green Party candidate David Cobb to call for a recount. Kerry didn't call for the recount. Why?
And then when McKinney, Kucinich, and Barbara Boxer were up challenging the official electoral ballot count (there were other people like I believe Conyers), Kerry didn't really do anything. He did what Gore did when the same thing happened in Florida---Nothing.
I want to know how you can make your argument about Nader stealing the election when there were thousands of other votes outside of the votes he got the Democrats could have fought for and won with.
And then...Ross Perot. Didn't he throw the election to Clinton? If we use the logic people use when they complain about Nader throwing the election, didn't he steal votes from Bush Sr.? So, why don't Republicans go on about him like liberals go on about Nader?
