2012 possible running mates

If Gravel decided to run in 2012 this time around he needs to play to one of his greatest assists that he pretty much left to the wind in his attempts in 2008, and that star power to influance.  We saw some here and there from videos but what Gravel really needs is a running mate who possesses the same mentality, openmindedness, brillance, popularity, and goals.

 

My first suggestion is Charlie Sheen.  Sheen who was pretty much ousted from his job after his so called drug addiction only took place after his submitted letter to the president about 9/11 would be a perfect running mate.  Not only is he smart, driven, he has the popualrity and ideals to push for a good election.  Whether or not I know hes interested I have no clue, although I couldnt imagine anyone sticking there neck out and question 9/11 like that unless they believed in this country and wanted to make a positive difference.

 

Second suggestion is Jesse Ventura, he also questions the events of 9/11 not to many other theroies quesitoning the conduct of our goverment.  He has even extended Ron Paul the offer to run with him in 2011 as a running mate if RP left the Republican Party, and ran as an independant which will pretty much never happen.

 

Its easy to declare someone fringe if they stand alone, however if you get a decent running mate early in the game as one of the two I've suggested, and play to what appeals to your strongest assists you could really make another impact this 2012 election.

I think having a woman as Gravel's vice presidential running mate would attract more votes.  I even have a catchy campaign theme:  Vote for Mike Gravel and Kat Swift because they have the gravel to bury US problems and want to bring swift goodness to the world.  She ran for the Green Party presidential nomination in 2008, and I'd like to see the Green & Libertarian Parties unite.
