Presidential Notes II.

Mike Gravel is running for president because he needs the money:

Now, however, he is broke, unemployed and happy. He has, in his own words, "zero net worth." His Senate pension all goes to his ex-wife, and he hasn't earned a regular paycheck in years. Since leaving the Senate he has endured two bankruptcies, one corporate and, just three years ago, one personal. He doesn't care. He quotes Joseph Campbell, who advised everyone to "follow your bliss." He and his wife have "difficulties" financially, he says, but he also says he's never been more content.

It's good he's content because he's never going to be elected president.
