Trust me, Mike Gravel is NOT auditioning for VP. The point is, no matter how lousy his chances, it is NOT up to MSNBC to decide who should be the viable candidates.

Gravel is not a viable candidate. MSNBC isn't deciding, the Dems are. Do you actually believe that MSNBC decided who was going to stand on the dais last night? The DNC makes that decision.

I find your concern for Gravel to be curious. Yes, it is entertaining to listen to his disjointed,"I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore" Howard Beale, ranting and raving, but he is not a serious candidate by anyone's measure. He just takes up air time. I would put Kucinich in the same category.
